Please help!!

wow those are pretty cheap. even i can afford those. ;D hehe my dad was surprised on the gph it had. he was like "whooh, thats a bit much" lol i'm trying to convince him to buy it now. But this is for a 55 gallon right?

 

I have a Koralia 1 (400gph) and a Koralia 2 (600gph) as well as my HOT Magnum filter that pushes out water like a powerhead (250gph).


So that's 1250 gph in my 29 gallon.



I don't think you can go wrong with a Koralia 2 and a Koralia 3 for starters. Having good flow in a tank also keeps detritus from building up in dead flow areas and running up your nitrates.

 

oh crap. hey my dad also wants to know if we get another one of the 550's would that help and for the nitrates how do we lower that besides removing a fish from the tank?

 

Getting even one extra powerhead is a step in the right direction. Skimming would help out your nitrates as well as adding more live rock and increasing your flow to keep detritus from building up in corners and behind rocks.

 

cool! lol my dad was like wow you got alot of filtration. lol. but you were right. there has been a change in something. the last clown wont eat. i just fed them and he wouldn't eat.

 

Yes- any type of power head will help - Slocal was suggesting what is currently thought of by many people to be "The best of the best" as they are awesome IMAO

A penguin 550 (Just googled it, does not have a great flow rate

as a suggestion- due to my mention of carbon earlier

Hagen Fluval 1, 2, 3, 4 “Plus†Internal Filters

an internal power / cannister filter - you could get a Fluval 4 for your tank

throw away the supplied filter medium and fill with a good grade activated carbon - polish your water up real nice and provide extra movement

I picked fluval - as the outlet is at top of filter and not 2 inches down as it is on some models - this means its easy to get this brand to create surface movement , without having to angle to filter and having it move back to vertical as the suckers are poor , like I do with other models

Steve

just an idea

 

Stressed fish in general won't eat. I strongly urge you to urge your father to start taking corrective action. You've done all the work by asking and providing us all the info we've asked from you :thumb_up:

 

;D okay i'm working on it. and thank you.
