    Adding Flow

    Would taking the return noozle off my wet/dry filter and adding a piece of pvc pipe drilled with hole that will span the entire length of my tank help to add more water movement.

    1 mj 400
    1 mj 900
    1 ph 301
    135 watt Coralife Light

    Substrate
    15 lbs LR
    6" Plenum DSB Crush Coral Sugar Sand/Florida Pebble Rock

    Fish
    1 Domino Damsel
    1 Yellow Tailed
    1 Paciso Trigger
    1 emarald crad
    1 peppermint shrimp
    1 Sand Shifter Starfish
    Assortment of hermit crabs
    3 frags

    I kinda doubt that it would, but you may want to provide a little more information as to what you are trying to accomplish and a little more detail to what you already have. When you say wet/dry filter with skimmer, I'm not sure exactly what you mean. Do you have a return pump coming from a sump. I looked at your photos and could not tell whether your last photo was showing a overflow box or exactly what it was. That said, I gotta tell you I'm blind in one eye and can't see out of the other so maybe someone else can jump in here.

    Hi extrememc,

    Changing how the water is returned isn't going to change the amount of flow in your system. If I were in your shoes, I would add a Tunze Stream to the tank for additional flow, and perhaps even remove the small powerheads to remove clutter.
