(Kind of Urgent Question!) Water Movement

[TheBluefish]

Hello Gang

I have recently had the good fortune of getting a new skimmer. It fits in my sump but I need to move one of my baffles over to allow for media. The question is how long can I leave my tank with the power heads only running without the water running through my sump? This system is 60 gallons and has 9 fish and a couple pieces of coral. ( 2 small Tomato Clowns, 4 Chromis, 2 small Hawks, 1 four inch Blue Tang and a couple small brain coral. Does anyone know how many hours I can get away with doing this?

Many Thanks,
Nick

As long as you got good water movement and your temp is ok you shouldnt have to worry about it.

and raise one of the power head closer to the water surface, for a top movement which is important for good water aeration.
