jaguilar Posted February 3, 2004 Share Posted February 3, 2004 wilson, i just responded to your other thread on this forum. on my eclipse 12, i have the aquaclear200(200gph), the powersweep ph(150gph), and a rio180ph(120gph). a lot of water movement is a very good thing. remember that most of these fish come from the ocean, and that pond is never sitting still. as for fish, consider a firefish goby, or any other of the numerous nano-safe gobies. you can also consider a six-line wrasse, very attractive fish imho. but if you do get that damsel you were talking about, just know that he will probably pick on any other fish you have in there, maybe even to the point of death.

Jahkaya Posted February 3, 2004 Share Posted February 3, 2004 What size is the tank? I think even for a softy tank that flow is important. I don't think the AC 200 alone would cut it in a tank bigger than 7 gallons. I suggest PH's if you have a 10 gallon or bigger. Most Corals respond greatly to a bit of added flow. As for SPS's, short of stripping their branches I don't think you can have too much flow. Link to comment
wilson Posted February 3, 2004 Author Share Posted February 3, 2004 well i chnged my mind about that damsel i was thinkin of gettin 2 blue green chromis along with my other stuff, also it is a 20 gallon h tank and i just am not sure if i should buy one big ph with my aquaclear or a couple of smaller ph with my ac, and should i remove everything out of the ac and just use for circualtion Link to comment
cookiemn Posted February 4, 2004 Share Posted February 4, 2004 Wilson, you may also want to look at some percula clowns. They always make good tank mates. Link to comment
Isaka Posted February 4, 2004 Share Posted February 4, 2004 For a 20h I would use the AQ200 and 2 powerheads to create a nice variety of current. If you get more than 1 clown, try to get a mated pair. Link to comment
