I getting ready to order my powerheads I was going to buy Hydor Koralia #1 but a few people said I should go with #2s or even #3s. I was wondering how you are liking your Koralia #1s.
Thanks

My tank seems to have a good flow but I dont have much experience but i got some advice from Whats up doc in the beginning of my post as for the amount of circulation per gallon and I decided to go with the ones. After reading a little more info I was afraid 2 or 3' may give me to much flow as for power of the flow and could cause a problem it was basic matter of my decision after reading and getting diffrent input on this site. Sorry not to give you a direct answer but Iam still new at this I figured to start with ones and then if needed I could always go larger.
Good Luck User420

brown on sand should be diatoms...normal....the damssels should do okay as long as you don't get ammonia...some say they are ok then too

IDK why your ph would spike though...have you added any buffers?
with the addition of fish you need to recheck your water in a day or 2....also...make sure you have no raises

w/c's can never hurt BTW
hope all is good with your seahorse..
I read that those little guys can be difficult to keep? Do you keep them in a
tank by themselves?
hope all is good......
