question of the day aug 13

[Petercar (RIP Dec 2017)]

do you reefers shut off your powerheads  for the night?.....some controllers do that  so the fish and corals can sleep better thru the night

 

[Salty Cracker]

Corals get rid of toxins and waste by water movement, so no I don't turn them off at all.  I never get any complaints of any of them being too tired to eat and float around.

my wavebox turns off for the night. however there is still some circulation with the return running all the time.

 

[Petercar (RIP Dec 2017)]

Ya I understand the returns running all the time ..but can it get along ok in the tank with power heads off?

 

[unibob]

Im sure it would be fine, but I leave mine on all the time, if fish want to sleep they can hide in lowflow area, and if they cant find one well... they better learn how to sleep in a current.

I do not turn off anything......running two tunze 6055 and nano wavebox on my 75. I only cut the 6055s for feeding.

 

[AdInfinitum]

Returns plus a couple powerheads full time...one large powerhead that blows across the other currents (for turbulence) that runs 1hr on 1hr off during the day and only 1hr in the middle of the night.

 

[msteane]

I have my return plus 2 powerheads in my tank.  The only time anything gets shut off is when I feed - I only leave one powerhead on to help circulate the food.
