Placing Equipment

[pagano24]

I was told earlier in threads that i needed more current flow, so i just went out and bought a #1 size koralia powerhead. Now i have a jebo 838 flow current bar and 1 nano koralia powerhead and also the new # 1 koralia powerhead. Now my question is how should i place these powerheads to get the best flow in my tank?

What kind of tank is it?

 

[pagano24]

its a 48g bow front tank. i have it set up like the bar on the right, then below it i put#1 powerhead then right below that i put the nano. so its like a line down.
it looks like these lines.

try to get it so your flow goes all around the tank...you need flow on the bottom sand, and also at the top

help... ever since i put the new powerhead in my fish have been acting wierd. it might not be cause of the power head but something is wrong. i just had a damsel die in front of my eyes, but before the new ph when i woke up this morning my tiny blue tang was dead. What the hell is happening?

Did you rinse them...could you have introduced something into the water, have you tested the water?
Sorry...so many questions needed to be answered to help you

i was stupid and forgot to rinse it. Last i checked all my water tests were fine, but im going to bring a sample tomorrow to my lfs. how bad could not rinsing it be. Should i change my water tomorrow?

water changes never hurt, but have your water tested and see what they say.....
IDK...seems wierd...you lost the 1st fishe before the powerhead..right?
Do you not have your own test kits???
