hey all-
thinking of adding another water mover (maybe tunze)
having some cyano issues, and my SPS is getting bigger.

my real concern is- how do i add water movement, without damaging my existing coral? i have full mixed reef, with SPS,LPS,Clams.
should i direct this new tunze at the water surface, to "break up" the flow?

any advice would be great.

maybe you have to much nutrient in your tank..maybe feeding to heavily ,,,do you have a protein skimmer..maybe do a water change............

I'd look into some of the controlable tunzes. That way you could start off at a lower flow with the new powerheads and work your way up.

cyano is not bad... probably needed more flow for a while now.
nutrient-o-k
feeding- probably a little too much-
skimmer-yes
WC- 10% every week


i didn't even know tunze had adjustables, i'll check them.

coral like random flow so controlleable tunze would be ideal.
