    Where to aim powerheads? Flow in the tank?

    I usually suggest option 1 on that ebay page, or something close to it. Every tank is different. Getting the flow right is tricky. If the flows...

    Head Pressure

    Each 90 elbow will add 1 foot of head pressure. I would guess you are looking at about 100-150GPH after head height and elbows factored in. Without...

    Dwarf lionfish

    A fuzzy dwarf will reach about 10-12" at full growth, so a 55G will be large enough if it is housed alone. Damsels to get quite large at full...
