Sea Swirls Rotating Return Device
The Importance of Circulation in the Aquarium
Is designed to increase circulation, health, and life of the corals and fish in your tank. While in the past powerheads were our only means to provide this we have also learned of their drawbacks. Placement is just one of these, you know what i am talking about, once they have been placed it is only a matter of time before they lose their suction then your powerhead comes crashing down on your precious babies! Concealing a powerhead can also become quite the construction project and although it can be done, you will still end up with this "unnatural thing" in your tank not to mention you now will have an additional source of heat. Unidirectional flow is another issue.
No where in nature is a species subjected to a constant barrage of current. Another drawback is the maintenance involved. Powerheads being submersed in the water will have a tendency to clog and unless regular cleaning is on your schedule this obstruction can significally reduce your water motion.in nature, water currents carry life sustaining, "body building" nutrients essential to healthy growth. While at the same time "whisking" away excess mucus and detritus. Of course you will want to be aware that once you have created this "natural current", more emphasis should be placed on where you have selected to position some corals.
Water movement is not only important for reef aquaria but also for saltwater fish and freshwater fish aquariums. A good sweeping movement eliminates "dead spots" allowing debris and detritus to become suspended in the water column so your overflow or canister filter can remove them from your aquarium. In addition, good surface agitation aides in better gas exchange and due to a mirror effect of smooth water allows more light into your tank.
