Default 12G aquapod & PH Question

Hi ev1,

I made a spray bar in the back of my tank (behind the rocks)with a 306 ph. Well, I had a very small ph ( an elite mini, 58 Gal/hr.) and I put it in the back right corner behind the rocks blowing diagnally across the tank. Is this OK to do OR is this TOO MUCH circulation?

This is my first nano and I know I had ALOT to movement in my 75G. Whatcha all think? Should I leave it or take it out. Im thinking and going for NO dead spots in tank. BTW.. Im at very end of cycle... Ammonia 0, Trites 30, Trate 30 ans still just waiting LOL
Thanks in advance... Kim

The amount of flow you have should be fine. With the spray bar, you're probably not getting the full 306 gph flow.

I've got the stock AP12 PH (160gph) flowing through my spraybar and a maxijet900 (230gph??) flowing through the normal water return.
