No Powerhead!

[80sbaby]

I Have A Fo Tank-what Series Powerhead Woulsd Be Sufficient For 55gallon? I Think I Have Dead Spots In My Tank. I Have To Much Algae Growth. I Just Lost All My Snails -why Would That Happen? I Tested My Water(0-ammonia-o-nitrite-0-nitrate. Ph Is 8.2) I Am Also Doing Water Changes To Bring My Phosphates Down. So Far So Good.

Hey, when I had my 55 gallon I had 2 402 powerheads(one on each side of the glass) since you dont have any that might be why your algae problem is bad, another could be what water your using. go with RODI water. also, how long are you leaving your lights on and what kind of lights do you have, I had the same problem with my snails but I soon found out that tap water killed them, so then i started used RODI water, hope this helps

What are your calcium levels? They need this to survive, they grow, and need it to make their shells.

I Have A Coralife Pure Flo2 Ro Water Purifying System. Does This Mean That I Need An Additional Unit? A De-ionizer, Right. What Would I Be Looking For- What Brand And Is Absolutely Neccesary?

You can add a Deionizer Filter in line after your unit

calcium is important to the crabs and snails, around 450 ppt is a good level.
