So for my innovative 15 I went with the ZKSJ it’s 530 gph and it’s good also for small tanks. It was cheap on amazon. Your tanks looking good I’m a fan of Nano tanks
oh nice! That pump looks exactly the same just less power! Will give this one a bit of time and if its still to powerful Ill look into trying out the ZKSJ, thanks for mentioning it!
I've been lucky. I lost 1 out of 3 astreas I bought (one was from Petco which is still alive the other two were from a LFS). I also have had a trochus snail for a while. I had another trochus a while back but it eventually died after 6 months. Not sure exactly why but that one dug into the cyano I had and cleaned it all up. I also have a small army of little ant looking bugs that live in the substrate and rocks. There's also many worm like bugs. Fish would love it but it's a 3 gallon so they thrive and do a great job of keeping the tank clean alongside the snails.
Algae outbreaks seem almost inevitable when you introduce coral frags. I'd like to know how to prevent algae spores coming in with the frags. Dipping hasn't prevented it for me so far... Wow its super cool that Hygger pump is so quiet, like its "not even there" as you put it... ha ha the g - s tring of aquarium wavemakers. I much prefer a quiet running tank and no visible lines showing :)
I have the same wave maker was a little pain in the beginning but works fine
I plan on buying the same wavemaker, thanks for sharing. I'm not sure where to place mine.
What size tank is this? And are you running the SICCE Syncra 1.5 pump on it?
Hi !
What are the rear chamber dimensions? I’m getting a Reef Casa isla 12 and I want to upgrade the stock return pump before it arrives

I think that wavemaker was like 2000gph+. you only probly need one thats under 1000 gph. find one that can go lower than 40% at min setting.
I got the smaller one, its 1600 which yea its still a lot for this little tank lol
