I may have erred at the beginning of setting up this tank. I went with the same guidelines for a standard reef tank and have two (small) powerheads plus a HOB 'waterfall' filter as well. The reason I believe I may have erred in my thinking is because on a normal day Tim will spend his whole day holed-up in his home; with just his eye (singular) poking out.
Three days now I have turned off the filters AND the powerheads during feeding time and all three days he has come out to roam the tank. In the time I have spent typing this post I have had the powerheads off, but left the filter running. In that short time Tim has already left his hole and is wandering around (cautiously because the tiny sailfin blenny is a bully (and is being removed shortly) and the six-line just looks mean even though he isn't).
So what's the scoop?
Have I been blowing too much current through his tank? Can I run a 10g tank with just the Whisper Mini and remove the 2 AquaClear powerheads (101 models)? Will the zoanthids, plants and xenia be alright in these same conditions?
Thanks in advance for your comments and questions,
