How do I avoid dead spots at the side of the tank?

DGJ · Jun 15, 2021

This is my tank and down the side by the rocks these is a huge build up of waste.
How do I combat this please?

the red line is the spray bar and the blue line is the intake of the canister filter snd also I have the internal ciano filter

Is the spraybar along the front glass?

It's at the back and spraying out towards the front

Will it fit on the left end, spraying upwards at a 45 degree angle (submerged) toward the center of the tank?

An adjustable powerhead/pump would be effective. (Just make sure to get one with a setting low enough, so you don’t blow your fish out of the tank)

It can only fit at the top of the tank and blow, I think I will try Phoenix point and get a powerhead that blows up and have it placed towards the bottom?

Why don't you have the sponge filter connected

It seemed like overkill with the internal Ciano and sunsun 304 canister.

Plus it seemed to be creating lots of air bubbles that just seemed to linger in the water, onec disconnected the water was clearer, I'm only keeping it in there so I can move it to my quarantine tank in a week or so

Just reposition the rocks to avoid the dead space, you have created it and can make it good for appropriate maintenance.
