Sharbuckle Posted April 6 Author Share Posted April 6 Crazy ice storm has caused widespread power outages in my city…. We are plagued by power outages, drives me insane. Luckily I have two battery powered air bubblers. Been 12 hours so far, will most likely be out for days. Hopefully temperatures don’t drop too much……. 1 Quote Link to comment

Looks like everything is happy as can be other than my red and white discosoma, they look pissed off. also, the feather caulerpa has freakin exploded! Whoa, time to trim 2 Quote Link to comment
Sharbuckle Posted April 15 Author Share Posted April 15 Update time. I feel like I’m really lacking flow and it’s time to add a powerhead or upgrade the return pump. Noticed some spots of green cyano near the front left of the tank. I also feel like the toadstools would be happier with some more flow. Feather caulerpa is absolutely exploding in growth and I love the natural look it’s giving the tank, two other macros in the tank are also doing well, but the one growing out of the overflow has snotty green algae growing on it, I also suspect flow is an issue there. Unfortunately haven’t seen the goby in 2 days but it’s tiny so there’s a chance it was just hiding in plain sight. Im weeks behind on a water change so that’s going to get done this weekend, as well as change the socks and filter media! 2 Quote Link to comment

I hope your goby shows back up! So what are the options you’re considering for increasing the flow? Quote Link to comment

So what are the options you’re considering for increasing the flow? To stick with the simple and cheap theme I’m looking at adding a sicce return with a random flow nozzle, or finding a cheap powerhead on Amazon. The hygger powerheads are tiny tiny and only $100 1 Quote Link to comment
