BTA's and Tunze Turbelle Stream powerhead

[808-SurroundedByReef]

So, I currently have a 120g with a couple bta's but am trying to get more waterflow within the tank. I was thinking of putting a tunze powerhead in the tank but was wondering if it is safe with the anemones in there. appreciate the help!!

I have lost an LTA and BTA to my streams. Both had let go of the substrate. Not sure how to maintain the streams maximum functionality and protect wandering anemones.

fwiw: I still run streams on my BTA filled 300g, but the rockwork is centralized and the tank is 32" deep. It has been years since an anemone has made it to the outside wall to take a stroll. Such a design may help in your case.

Good luck.

I think Traveller hit it on the head. You need to keep them from climbing up onto the sides of the tank by not stacking your rockwork up against the sides. I honestly believe that if your anemone can get to the walls of the tank it will not be able to resist the powerheads for to long.
