Wingo's Edge

[Aqua Pro Builder]

Many of you must have known, I made the Savior Light for this tank but ironic enough I have no Edge tank running in my own place at all.

After all the delays and hesitation (say 1 year behind my first thought of setting up one), I finally put water in my Edge for real.

Will show you guys pics during the cycle later.


Current/Intended Setup:

-Fluval Edge Tank(used only in trade shows)
-Filter(cannot find the original one yet)
-WingoLED Savior LED Light 27W(for real 27W !!!???) I will be running it below 18W because with the extra power I have bigger range of color tone over the channels.
-FOWLR
-a Koralia nano with a missing external pcs(a gift)

-may be rescue coral or abandoned corals from clients
-or a couple frags grown/clone in USA :lol_large)

All fish should be BORN in USA
-A pair or mix of Oynx Picasso and Snowflake clowns
-Couple Neon Goby

-may be couple of small rock anemone.

-For those who have a powerhead in the Edge, does it ever give you issues in killing your live stock ?
I am worried because of the close proximity of the powerhead.

-What color sand should I use? Anyone has a pic of this tank with black sand? If so, please post.

Haven't had any issues with the koralia nano 240gph when I had my edge set up before.
As for sand I prefer white sand. That's what I had in mine before.

I too had a koralia nano in mine and never had a problem, also had an MP10 in there for a little while when I was waiting to set up my new tank. No problems at all.

Like many others I had a 240gph in my tank and I put it on the left wall towards the back with no problems.
Many people put MP10's on them as well if you can afford em.

Go figure my 7 gallon nano is giving me problems with powerhead location no matter where I put it I get sand drifts...

hydor makes a 180gph thats even smaller with a "spin stream" top. I had the koralia 240 in my 9gal cube before that and felt it was to direct of a flow making the "toilet" effect.

Have you heard how reliable over time is the spinning mechanism? I have heard something similar that they will get stuck due to algae or such in the old days.

I never had issues with the koralia 240 and livestock. I also went with white sand but black would be cool. Probably will add more pop to livestock.

Good luck with build!

My 240 crapped out for no reason, I cleaned it often and it was only a few months old. So I can't speak for reliability. My little 180 is flaky though. Stops working when it feels like it

I don't know the model, but the used nano one given to me crapped out only couple days after I put it in.
