Default In - Tank Circulation Rates?

I keep mine near the top too. (Pity that the earliest meeting I could host is July, because I really want to point at things in my tank as I make these explanations. Oh well, do you mind waiting until July? J/K! :D )

But as Jon said, it's not a real biggie. Whatever you like best. You do want some surface agitation one way or the other, whether it comes from the sump return or PH's or a spray bar ... doesn't really matter.

Um. What else was I gonna say? Oh yeah. 802's. A decent workhorse PH, but yeah RATTLE RATTLE RATTLE. I use one to run my refugium off my 50 and another to run my spray bar for my ritt (serviced from the sump so it acts as a secondary sump return as well). Oh, it might be OK to mix up saltwater in a pinch. But other than that ... I'd never consider one as a PH in my main display tank. Not too nice to hear that constant jackhammering.

You'll be hard pressed to find a nicer powerhead than the MaxiJet's (at a comparable price that is).

(And hey Jon, if ya wanna car pool I'd be game, almost silly not to since we live to close to each other ... let me know.)

cheers guys
