    Just curious because im waiting on my 2 new ones to come in the mail on monday, and the one I have in there now is just way to powerful and keeps blasting all the sand on the bottom, to 1. not settle, and 2. makes huge mounds and bare spots, no matter where i point it, its disrupting something... its just way to big for this tank. (Its a 1300gph from my old set up) and i have a biocube 29.... Was hoping my new Koralia 425s would have been here by now! but have to wait till monday So basically, do you think it would be ok to go a day/night without a power head? i ended up taking it out a few hours ago to let stuff settle. My return pump is decently strong, and is giving corals low movement, so the water isnt just sitting.
