Hey guys,
In my learing process i have seen people talk about water currents, what is considered a "strong" current or a weak one? Also , how do you make a strong water current, or make a strong current weaker? Thanks for the input!
Sam

Hi Sam.

As with anything of this nature the answers will vary
from person to person.
To me, a "strong" current is one that, as a fish swims
through it, it moves sideways. An acceptable small
current is on that a fish would not have to fight through
or in the process of crossing it, would not be moved
sideways.

I would also suggest that currents that are stong to a
one inch tetra, might not be strong to a 10 inch oscar.

water current is the speed n force at which water moves
to make it get a power jet or a stronger filter
to slow it down block n disperse the flow
