Flow for a clown fish

[raddog1]

I have a BC 29g, I changed out the stock return for an MJ1200 and placed another MJ1200 on the other side of the tank. I am thinking of changing out the additional MJ1200 for a tunze 6025 or even 2 tunze 6025's, would that be too much flow for my two clowns? I have a decorator crab, and some various snail's hermits in the tank as well. 28# of live rock and between 1.5" and 3" of sand in the bottom.

Also the clowns hang out in the back of the tank by the return. Sometimes they venture away, but mostly they hang out back there. They look healthy though otherwise. The decorator crab lives in a cave in the rocks so maybe they stay away from the rocks for that reason. No idea, I have had them for 4 days now.

I would direct the flow away from them----they are not the strongest swimmers in the reef. They like the a back area to hang out away from predators and where they can hide quickly.

For much better price the hydor koralines would do the same thing as the tunzes

my 1 inch TB perculas swims around my vortech all day long they love flow. i am sure of this. they even sleep near the full blast vortech.

2x 6025 would be great. and of u want more flow they are very simple and easy to mod to 1200gph and wide flow.

the ability to improve the performance of a 6025 make it a great buy. also one 6025 mod would work and save money

the maxijets are not my cup of tea.

I guess I got a pair of chicken fish then then again I have the only lab retriever in town that doesn't like the water

I have two clowns that I can't put back in the main tank because they are instantly attacked by a zebra damsel. I have tried and tried to remove that damsel but its a smart little fish.
Any way I can sneak these back in the tank?

pleeeese tell me how---its satan in disguise--short of getting an exorcist I've tried everything.
This fish was alive in a 30 gal tank that had been neglected for 6 months--had ammonia and nitrates off the scale, .007 salinity---massive coral death. The tank smelt so bad we had to open the windows in the van in Feb cause we were gaging.
Nice guy me ( I don't want to admit it but I thought it was a cardinal) thought it deserved to live after all that so in the main tank it went.
It truely is cursed:strooper:
