fish waste collecting in the back of the tank, power head issues? Need advice

[vinx]

I have a 55 gallon tank, and i have 1400 gph koralia power head on either end with a lot of water flow. The problem I am having is that all of my wish waste seems to creep back to the back of my tank and just kinda decays there. I was not sure if that was okay and if the bacteria was going to eventually eat it and if I should put the power heads in a different angle to get more flow to the back of the tank?

Majority of people will place them on either end so its not that uncommon, hmm.
Is there a skimmer on the system? and how often are you doing water changes?
Any chance of picture?

I ran two of those on my 90g for a long time, so I don't think you have a lack of flow... you might need to play with the aiming of them to eliminate dead spots though.

I do have a HOB skimmer it works great I think its just the dead spots as cr said. How do i put a pic on here?

There is a way to upload them, but I've never done it. I just upload them to Photobucket, and use the little "mountain and sunset" button above the text window to insert a picture into the post. If you use Photobucket, use the "direct URL" link.

I dont have photo bucket, but i do have face book can i put a url link from fb?

 

[cr500_af]

Not that I know of, but I could be wrong. Photobucket is free and only takes a minute to set up, if you are interested.

A search here for "photo upload" might give you what you need without using a third party host.

does this link work?

 

[coolsurf]

ummmm..not 4 me it doesn't.

Uploading a pic directly isn't too hard. You just need to know where your file is and pic # is you want to upload.

 

[cr500_af]

Nope... I'll send you a PM with an email address. I'll put it in my PB and post it for you.

 

[sts04c]

finally I actually had a photo bucket account

 

[cr500_af]

That worked.

so what do u guys think, do i need to adjust the power heads?

 

[coolsurf]

You might try to adjust the powerheads and see what happens. You also may want to vacuum the sand bed...top 1/2 inch or so.
