    I modded a AC50 for a fuge, and i trimmed the blades down for slower movement is it the slower the better...cause its basically trickling out...

    thanks ahead of time..

    i use aquaclears for many of my freshwater tanks (and some fowlr sw tanks) and i think the lowest setting on a 50 would be an acceptable rate for a small aquarium.. . curious- how are you illuminating it? and what's in it?
