Hi folks im new to this site, it looks like a great place to learn, so im asking your advice here on a setup im looking into...i want discus in a planted tank....however before this i was considering saltwater but changed my mind now i have all the equipement i need for saltwater so was wondering what you pros think of this im looking at using a mag 18(1800 gph) to run a closed loop to provide waterflow i know discus dont like alot of flow which is why im considering running pvc spraybar around the whole back of the tank also i will branch off the mag 18 to a homemade fluidized bed filter to redusce some of the flow?? any opinions?

thanks
Craig

Maybe you could use the mag 18 to pump water from your storage barrel for the daily 50% water changes. For sure it could agitate the water in the storage barrel to off gas CO2 and stabilize the pH. ;D
