    remember... direct flow kills. deflected randomized flow grows ;)

    so its been a little bit since ive added the new powerhead, the fish still dont seem to like it, they hide in the rocks quite a bit and dont swim as much as they used to, they kind of stay in one area

    You can give 'em a couple of days and if they still don't like it dial down the MP a bit. When I added the PH to my nano it took the fish a few days to get used to it.

    could be putting voltage into the water... i lost a whole tank due to stupid hydor products and their "electrical leakage issues"

    ok, i think ill give them a few days, the clowns are just swimming in the rocks still, not normal.....

    would it do it that fast,the hydro hasnt even been in the tank for 24hrs.

    my bubble isint very happy but he seems to be dealing with it, his bubbles are large but now as big as he normally is and cyano is already going down

    my fish hid immediatly... then died after about three days from the stress.
    do you have a volt meter?

    if you have any cuts on your hands you can feel a zap by putting them in the water (assuming your feet are grounded)

    I dunno I've had my K2 in for 2 weeks and things are going well...if you're truly worried you could get a ground probe is only about $16 @ marine depot.
