    Wave maker or return pump

    So I’m having a hard time deciding on which way to increase the flow inside my tank. I’m debating on getting the hygger wavemaker 1600 model or the mightyjet 538 with a spinstream attachment. Just would like some other input on which is better. My tank is the IM 15 gallon

    Can I bury the Kenya Tree trunk in sand?

    Can I bury the trunk of my Kenya tree deep in the sand? It keeps shrinking in the flow and the other place that I can move it to just has a sand bed. I had it in the sand before but it fell over. I need to really bury it.

    What kind of aquarium(s) do keep?

    Tell Us About Your Aquarium. what brand is it - is it a custom build or a off-the-shelf aquarium? Is it an all-in-one or does it have a sump, or maybe a canister filter? How many gallons is it, and what are the dimensions? Is it a mixed reef, fish only SPS dominant? Or, maybe a freshwater build?

    New behaviour from Hammer and Frogspawn - what are they telling me?

    Last night I made an adjustment to my flow as it was a little overwhelming for many or my coral. When I checked the tank this morning, I noticed everyone was happier, but my Hammer and Frogspawn look different - as you can see in the pic, they both are loose. They used to have their tentacles...

    Too much flow for a goniaporia

    Is this too much flow? Have had issues with positioning in the past, resulting in the loss of corals which has made me paranoid at this point.

    Powerhead placement

    I have had a Cyanobacteria outbreak and have seemingly good water parameters, granted my tank isn’t the most stable because it is around 3 1/2 months old and fluctuates, I have siphoned most of it and a water change, and will get chemi clean if it persists for a while, but I was wondering if my...
