I don't like to have it in the skimmer section simply because the rock will shed little rock chunks when you move it around and you don't want any pumps sucking that up. So all pumps should be in...

That's unusual, but not impossible. There seems to be different species of dinos that vary in toxicity, although I'm not sure if there actually is. Some people complain about extreme toxicity (like...

Mag pumps are great for mixing salt, but I wouldn't use them for a return pump. Iwaki and Eheim are both tried and true great pumps for that size tank. The Speedwaves are getting lots of attention...

I don`t think you`re setting your powerheads up very well then. :razz: Certainly you can`t place powerheads so they shoot directly at corals. The MP10s are only 1500 gph full blast which isn`t...
