When I started my tank a few months ago the LFS guys said I should use 2 Maxijet 1200's. I went with it, setting one up on either side of my tank, a standard 55g, and just let it go. One of them has started buzzing, probably vibrating loudly would be more accurate, sporadically. Which makes me think, do I really need two of them? One of them gives me a turnover of about 22X. I've read everything from 10-45X is ideal.
With both of them running I constantly have sand flying all over the tank. It's not a bunch, just enough for the water to look a tiny bit cloudy. It's a FOWLR tank right now, just some snails, emerald crab, and a couple clownfish. Would I be OK pulling one of the 1200's out? Or should I turn them both back into one of the lower flow options and keep them both in for the cross currents in the tank?
