I use two Penguin 660 power heads (170 gph each) and a H.O.T Magnum model 250 (250gph)which is a hang on side style filter. I do not have any holes drilled into this tank nor am I willing to do that. So my question I guess is, is this filtering system Im useing sufficiant for a fish only tank? I also plan on adding 30lbs of base rock and 45 lbs of live rock to cycle the tank instad of using damsels.
If I add sand to the tank, Im pretty sure the under gravel system will pull the sand under the plastic gravel filter system. So should I take the power head off of the tube that connects it to the under gravel plastic base. Then try to mount the power head some else where under water?
I think I would leave the plastic base under the crushed coral gravel and just put several layers of sand over it.
Is this a good idea???
if not, why is it a bad idea??
