Water Flow: What is your main source of water flow?

[revhtree]

Corals and fish need different levels of water flow. Some like more, some like less but they all need it to a certain degree. We also need flow in the tank to keep detritus and other debris from settling in spots in our tanks and setting up a factory for bad algae and other coral and fish harming factors!

Whether it's a pump, powerhead, wave maker, or any other device the fact remains that we need water flow!

So what is your chosen method to keeping the juices flowing in your aquarium?

On my 200g there's a Reeflo Barracuda pushing water from the basement valved back to about 1500 gph at 15' of head pressure. In the tank there are three Koralia Mag 6's. Creates great surface turbulence and polyp movement.

1x MP40 and 1x MJ1200... Planning 2nd MP40 in the future...

 

[swannyson7]

Two MP40s, two MP10s, and penductors on my return powered by a QuietOne 6000. I also plan to add another MP40 or an MP60 in the future, if the tank budget allows it.
