Martin, in your article that shows how you built the manifold going to the powerheads, what was the point of the manifold to sponge intakes? Can't I just run my powerhead straight out with just a prefilter for safety? Wouldn't trying to intake the water from across the tank reduce the flow of the po...

Umm..I venture to say............ this MUST be a guy thing...

I am thinking my 2215 Eheim which is 164 GPH with a jet return, and a MJ 900 powerhead is 230 GPH, that gives me roughly 394 GPH. Both with sponge intakes.

Hi Diana, Thanks for the response. This is a 20 long. How do you accomplish turning the water so much without overheating it? I have been looking at Martin Thoene's articles.

Thanks for the info, and g...

I have two and love them. Yours are beautiful, what are you feeding them?
Frank carries them, and they are much cheaper, though you would pay shipping.

I can take a photo of the red algae if you like. This is my favorite photo of two of my gobys.

Fabulous photos Odyssy! 8) My Stiphodon sp, along with Hikari algae wafers, will go after most other foods. Including Hikari frozen bloodworm, Ocean Nutrition formula 1 flake,live grindal worms, fresh organic zucchini and melon,cyclop-eeze,and other foods I feed like Sera,HBH, & Spectrum foods. I ha...
