Sting Ray and Water Current

[lordpaladin]

I am planning to add a 2nd powerhead inside the tank but will be placed on the other side, opposite my inlet of my okuma overhead pump. It will act as a wavemaker to push debris to the overhead pump.

my tank is 62" x 26" x 26" and the powerhead will be 2500lph and the overhead pump is 6600lph.

since the powerhead is situated almost near the bottom, would it stress my ray in a big way?

Can I buy a powerhead with lower flow or none at all?

thanks!

You could always set it on a timer. Maybe turn it on and off 3-4 times a day.

I have a small one that runs constant and then i have another that i switch on and off.

They seem okay with it.

Thanks for the reply!
If I keep it as is 24/7 with that flow, will it not stress the ray at all?
