It isn't extra current, that is the flow of the water. It is essential. What are you using for oxygen right now?

That is the oxygen for your fish. SW is very dense and has little oxygen in it by itself. It has to have movement. I have two powerheads. They are at opposite sides of the tank to create a cross effect. One points around the rocks and the other goes accross them. What sized tank do you have? Do you have fish?

When you point them up a bit, they can help disturb the water surface, improving the oxygen/CO2 exchange that takes there. BTW_ Beautiful angel, my juvi is just starting to change.

Yes a beautiful tank. that's a school of chromis, right? Your fish selection will be close to perfect when the eel gets the damsel!

To tell you the truth, The eel is either blind or really stupid, cause the eel can only see something when he bumps into it, and if lucky gets it. They been together for 1 year. This damsel is too smart. He cant even chase they r too fast. But I had a school of 10 chromis Im down to 1 cause my WRRASSE had one reach morning for breakfast.
caught him in the act!!!!!!
