My Passion

I currently have 4 aquariums as of right now. I enjoy the planted hobby. I had several reef tanks over the years, but found my passion with planted tanks. The hobby started out with one tank then ended up having 8 setup at one time. Since then I have slowly let go of some. Keep on tanking my friends.

If you have any other ideas please help if…

I am having some trouble to get my plants to sway. I have a canister 305 going on full blast and it does about half the tank. I attempted to add a powerhead that does 850GPH..Which is an overkill. I am having trouble getting flow to the other half of my 55.

Have any solutions?

I was possibly thinking about buying a powerhead that is rated for a nono tank maybe 425GPH, or even the Hagen mini filter for flow. If you have any suggestions please…
