Hi
I have a 20 gallon nano mixed reef tank, and I am currently trying to improve the flow. I currently have a wavemaker that does about 10x tank volume turn over, and yesterday I purchased a Sicce Voyager Nano 2000, which does 25x tank volume turn over by itself, bringing it to a total of 35x tank volume turn over. However, I noticed that the flow down by my mushroom corals was really high, some of the mushrooms were a lot smaller however I am not 100% sure if that is to do with the flow. I saw a bit of green hair algae by the mushrooms that was being blown around a huge amount, and I know that mushrooms don't like high flow.
I am considering changing out the Sicce Voyager Nano 2000 for the 1000 which will make my overall tank turnover (not including the return pump) to around 25x. I want to have this tank as a mixed reef including torches, hammers, frogspawns, acans, duncans, mushrooms and in terms of SPS I am planning on getting some montiporas, would this 25x tank turn over be enough for these corals and in particular the SPS?
Any feedback will be appreciated, thanks
