Default A Couple of NOVICE questions?!?

Hi All,

Just a couple of questions. First on tank flow rate (see if my math is correct)....I have a marineland powerhead 1140 (300 gph) and an emperor 400 filter. So my tank is cycling at around 10 times an hour (correct)..... So if that is the case i should have good flow rate throughout the tank??? The second question is....For the live rock, is there anything i can do to feed it and keep it going or does it do that for itself.

Thanks,
Java

Live rock will be fine as long as you do your water changes on a regular basis.

Your flow rate is great!
