I bought one of those too. mine doesn't spin all that fast and I foudn the flow was minimized quite a bit by it.

I mean it's not a boat prop or anything but it spins at a good rate. My tank is only 16 gallons so I find it works pretty well. I'd also be worried if my flow was any less minimized by it... i already have to postion the tips very carefully or it will pray my light/out of the tank

Thats crazy your fish is going to get smoked in the head.
You should put in a small piece of live rock to seed some coraline into your tank.

I don't even have salt in yet... I'm having some heat issues or my thermometer is broken... feels more like the latter

Default can you cover it some how??

Instead of people just walking up to your tank and saying wow thats cool.. whats that coral.. they will be saying cool... whats the spinning thing,.. just my 2 cents.. cool idea if it was behind rockwork or something... like I said just my opinion..

That's wild--like a carnival ride for your fish! Seems like it gives some nice turbulence. Can you pile some rock in front or something so you don't have to look at it--might be a bit distracting?

Yeah it might be a bit distracting especially after the water cleared up... but I'm hoping the fish will draw my attention

LOL I thought that orange thing was a fish of some sort.
Had to take a second look.
