Hello, so i still need to get more flow in my tank, the plants hardly sway apart from my tall plants at the back, so here is the question and worry.
I have a 4ft tank, currently running the eheim 600 litre filter from far left to right and it slightly pushes to the front of the tank. I also have a 300liter filter with a 16 hole just pumping from back of the right side to the left, which is why my back plants sway.
This current set up creates a good circle motion at top and middle of the tank, but nothing noticable on the bottom.
Now the fish has some rest areas, bottom and bang in the middle due to wood and the current is less strong like the eye of a storm.
My concern being if i add more flow creating more circle motion will i cause distress and make the fish tired?
Am i better putting flow from the back wall to the front? As this is spread out more it will not be as strong, and the plants should get more flow?
What are popular thought putting the fish first?
I also have never seen where angel fish and bolivians live so no idea if strong flow is ideal or not.
As always thanks in advance.
