Ya I have heard that, so I am going to look for a small juvi and give it a try. If it doesn't work out then it will end up in my FOWLR tank.

Well I kicked in the closed loop tonight......how do you say.....SAND STORM!!! Was not impressed to say the least, so I turned the flow's down on all the returns to the point that the sand was not flying around. Might have to experiment with the height of the returns.

I lifted them up 1 1/2" before I kicked it in, so hopefully another 1 1/2" will do it.

Something else to keep in mind, if it's new sand, it will need a little while to get coated in bacteria and then it won't fly around as much.

Hey Tony, it is not new sand, it was the sand from the bow front but I did give it a nice rinse.
