Flow

[::pete::]

Ok I am wondering about a few things regarding flow in my tank. The picture will show placement as well as direction and normally they run 24/7. I have them split up on outlets so I can turn a few off when feeding. The ones that stay on when feeding to provide some flow are the 2 MJ 1200's on the bottom and the return. I ask because the other day I forgot to turn them back on and it was @ 3 hrs later, but looking in the tank some livestock looked happier (plump and bigger). I obviously have no dead spots and dont want any to help cyano or anything else to build up. Should I cut back and maybe put the ones I turn off on a timer and run them for a few hours a day instead of 24/7? If yes, what would be the best time to have them on? All thoughts welcome ... Thanks

mmm which livestock looks happier without the powerheads? is it any livestock that can move itself?

I dont have but a 100 gal, but between the closed loop on a squid and the return on a 1" sea swirl and 5 mj1200's Im getting good flow, but Im thinking too much for bottom dwellers as it is constant. Then I think a wave maker, but for the price why not just re do it using something like www.oceanmotions.com with pvc getting rid of the powerheads I can always use elsewhere. Any thoughts?
