yman182 Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 I am running 2-425 Nanos and it seems to be working well. Link to comment
sticks Posted October 2, 2012 Author Share Posted October 2, 2012 The reason i am asking is. I see people use everything from a single nano,2 nanos up to 750's + and every thing in between. I am trying to get an idea what most people are using without getting sand storms in there tanks or having a monster power head in there tanks. Link to comment

Addressing that question probably starts with another question ... what kind of sand substrate are you using? Link to comment
Rollermonkey Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 What sort of fish or corals do you eventually want? You can run anything or nothing. It depends on what you want to do. Link to comment
sticks Posted October 2, 2012 Author Share Posted October 2, 2012 I wanted to go with a fine sand like sugar sand. As for fish going to start with clowns and maybe a yellow watchmen goby. corals will be softs to start i don't want to get to complex in the beginning. I still have a lot of reading and research to do. Link to comment

I still have a lot of reading and research to do. I would advise against sugar-sized sand, as it will blow around like crazy with any sort of decent flow you add. Myself and many others have had great success with "Seaflor Special Grade Reef Sand" http://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod...cfm?pcatid=7326 Link to comment
sticks Posted October 3, 2012 Author Share Posted October 3, 2012 i really don't like the look of the Seaflor Special Grade Reef Sand but i have read that people like it because it is less cloudy and stays in place. so if i were to use it what do you suggest Link to comment
jpc763 Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 I am running a 750 and a 550 on a RKL wave maker. Once the sand settled (after the pistol shrimp moved everything) the tank is clear. No problem with too much flow. Link to comment

No problem with too much flow. Do your Koralias create bubbles when they just turn on on, on the wavemaker? I tried running to of them on a wavemaker, but each time the RKL turned the unit on bubbles would come out. Link to comment
