    Enough flow without a wavemaker

    Im wondering if you can help me with the flow. So my IM20 came with two 130gph pumps but I want to replace them with two mighty jet 326 will that be enough flow for my tank or will I have to add a wavemaker?

    Too much water movement for my gobies?

    Hello, So I'm really confused aboud flow now. I've read everywhere that it's very necessary in a reef tank and it should be strong, etc etc. Now, I decided to move everything on from my 10 gal nano and make properly equipped 30 gal. I got Tunze nano skimmer on the right back, along with 50watt...

    How much flow do I need?

    Hi I've taken a video of my tank. It's a 60 litre Fluval Spec. I did have the fluval powerhead in there but the corals weren't too happy with that. Not sure it was blowing hard enough so I switched it to the Sicce Voyager Nano (530 Gallons per hour or 2000 litres. I don't know if it's too...

    Torch not opening up fully

    Hey guys, so I’ve had a torch for a few weeks, it has opened up way bigger than it is now but for some reason it stays retracted. My Acans seem to be fine. I also have a GSP that isn’t opening up any more either and it used to look like a nice patch of grass blowing in the wind. I believe my...

    Designing flow for large and tall tank

    I'm starting to think about powerhead and/or gyres for my redesigned tank and looking for some opinions. My tank is 7 feet long, 3 feet deep, and 5 feet tall. Due to the nature of its design it will be difficult to move powerheads/gyres once it is full. When ran as a freshwater tank I used a...

    Should I randomize my flow more ?

    My tank is 36" long and 18" wide my gyre xf130 is set too pulse mode each 0.1 - 0.2 seconds at 40%. Food stay suspended but its always doing a circular motion which doesn't really feel natural. Is it okay? If not what can I do to fix it.

    Powerhead or Wavemaker Suggestion?

    Recently I downsized from a 125 gal mixed reef to a 50 gallon LPS dominant reef. Since then, I would like to upgrade or renew my powerheads for a 50 gallon LPS dominant reef. I've had Neros (can't remember the number/version) in the past but after awhile they fail, fall off the glass, or...

    Seahorse return jets

    I’m transforming my waterbox cube 20 into a dwarf seahorse tank. I’ve noticed, on professional builds, there’s usually a really nice thing that replaces the return jets for something calm and more natural. Is anyone aware of options for return jets and seahorses? Sites? Links?

    Help with torch flow?

    Hey all! I got this Aussie gold the other day, and I’ve never kept torches before. It’s currently on a plug, but I just want to check this sort of flow/polyp extension looks okay for it:) The polyps mostly wave towards the camera, but every so often move more vertically, and sometimes more...

    I would like some opinions on the flow of my tank, I have a Sicce 357gph pump on max for my 20g IM. My Clowns tend to stay at the top left of my tank and my other one likes to stay at the back right near the return, they do come out and explore, the smaller one more than the big one but I'm...
