  • Too much poop

    Ok so i realize my tank is probably overcrowded and i probably overfeed, but how do you peeps prevent the poop from collecting under the rocks, but into he filters.
    i have to vacuum at least once a week

    Specially if your keeping 20 or so trophs in that size of tank. i'm not yet but planning on it.


    i got a 75g w/2-2217's and 2 koralia 750's, is that enough circulation? and i just need to fine tune the direction, or do i need more flow?

    Yeah, you'll have to play with placement of powerheads and returns. I don't vacuum anymore thanks to powerheads

          Yeah, that should be enough. You might even have to put both powerheads on the same side.
