My Porcelain takes advantage of the fact that I need more flow! She loves the crevasses between the rocks where debris settles.

She's gonna hate me when I install another PH & hook everything up to a wave maker!

i have 1 behind the rock wall and a nano on the rock face. i usually only run 1 of the 2 PH's built into the cube. just for skimming and filtration. i dont like the flow they give.

I'm just using 2 Koralia 1's & the standard return pump on my cube. It's a Solana not a RSM so I don't know how they compare.

I just see a couple of areas where the flow isn't quite reaching & also would like some randomness to the flow overall.

BTW - What are your the Pom Poms eating? Are they just picking up debris or do you actively feed them?
