seanbugeja · 03/13/2016, 04:40 PM

Hi all i currently have a biocube 130 litre....my clownfish seem to be doing find very active and swiming around by my pajama cardinal keeps to the inner corner of the cube right under the wave maker....is there to much flow in my tank?

currently the spraybar is pointed downwards towards the bottom and the wave maker is at the very top pointed upwards to agitate the surface of teh water....should the spray bar be pointed upwards also?

thanks guys!

More than likely it's because the clowns don't let him use more of the tank.

Also, when I had a pajama cardinal it was more nocturnal.

It's the other way around in my tank. My clowns always sit behind the overflow box out of the current. I thought it was to much flow so i turned my wave makers off for a while. It made no difference so i turned them back on.
