Topic Of The Week # 1 - Water Movement

[MUCHO REEF]

As we usher in the new year, you will see many exciting changes within the Zoanthid forum beginning with the return of Topic Of The Week. TOTW is a Bi-weekly thought provoking discussion with a direct impact on our reef tanks that will help achieve a better understanding of what is vital, critical and sometimes necessary to maintain a healthy, balanced and thriving ecosystem. It's success is based solely on your input and feedback on a daily basis. Some topics might sound elementary and some might seem advanced, but we hope you'll share as much and as often as you possible.

TOTW will be posted on Sunday. If you have an idea for TOTW, please forward your suggestions to our newest moderator Agu, myself and another member who will be announced this week.


TOTW # 1

Water Movement, unlike many other topics which are debated heatedly, this is one which the reefing community agrees upon as a vital component in achieving a prospering system.

1. How does Water Movement/Flow/Current/Turnover play an important role in your system?

2. Variable/oscillating or constant flow, which is better?

3. How is the above flow/current/turnover achieved in your system?

4. List the do's and don't as it relates to flow/current/movement?

5. Should internal flow and turnover be measured?


Don't reduced your replies to the 5 questions listed, lets discuss flow in its totality.
