75g Lurking danger and Leafy Seadragons

[vlangel]

@wvned, how is the flow in the 75g FW tank using the FX 4? I am deciding if I need the extra flow of the FX 6 or if the FX 4 is enough. What do you think for a SW reef tank? I am leaning toward the FX 6.

I have never done anything like that on a SW tank. Hope it does what you want. I get about 6-8 weeks on the FX4 and then the flow falls off and I have to service it.
Mine is filled with rings and Seachem Matrix.

That is helpful to know. Thank you for sharing that. That is funny, you were answering my question as I was asking it!

I do not think the flow would be significant for a reef tank. The filter has a v shaped return that you can somewhat point. It makes the plastic plants sway back and forth. Thats about it.
I also had to modify the intake to get some surface skimming going.

I don't need a huge amount of flow since I have an mp 10, mp 40 and a Carefree Fish wave maker but I was hoping for surface agitation. I also have considered swapping out the intake and output with glass lily pipes.
