HOB, and PH

So I need a HOB and a powerhead or two for my 20DT. Stats below! and Sadly a Sump and fuge are out of the question :\



Tank size:
-20 Gallons
Lighting:
-15V Nova Extreme 2xT5HO (I think..)
Heater:
-100W Elite Submersible 20
Pump:
-Maxijet 400
-Low Flow power head
Livestock:
-Ocellaris Clownfish (2) A. Ocellaris
-Astraea Conehead Snail (2) Astraea tecta
-Sexy Anemone Shrimp(1) Thor amboinensis
-Electric blue hermit crab (4) Calcinus elegans
-Frogspawn coral (LPS(3)) Euphyllia paradivisa
-Candy Cane coral (LPS(2)) Caulastrea furcata
-Starburst Polyp (SC) Can't find exact binomial name (Galaxea Fascicularis?Wikipedia is giving me something that looks like stringy frogspawn.)
-Social Featherduster (10+) Bispira brunnea
-Green Mushroom Coral
-Xenia Coral
-Purple Death Palythoa
-Blasto Coral
-Pavona Coral
-Margarita Snails (2)

 

You can buy HOB fuges. I run one on the back of my 20 in addition to a Walmart brand filter. In addition to that, I have a Koralia 1 powerhead. I would say you're set powerhead wise.

 

The powerheads aren't mine /:

 

I'm not sure I understand.

You listed:

-Maxijet 400
-Low Flow power head

 

Those are in my tank, but I need to give them back to a friend. So i need to buy my own.

 

Okay. Well I haven't had any problems with just a Koralia 1 in my tank and the Walmart HOB filter. They keep the water moving fine. If you want SPS, then you may want to add a second, more powerful version.

 

This is what I have for the PH

I have everything ya need, hydor koralia 750 and a HOB fuge that needs a little silicon work around the the intake, and its not real pretty, but neither is my new one, anymore. PM me if interested, I'll unload them cheap, wish ya were closer.

But yes, hydor's are great pumps for the price, much better than maxi jets, IMO

 

PM sent!

 

+1.

I would get 1 koralia 750 or 2 koralia 425 pumps. Use a HOB filter (without the filter pads/media) and put macro algae in it, such as chaetomorpha. This will act as a biological filter, keeping your nitrates down to a minimum.
