flow

I have a 210-gallon tank. Initially, I placed a Maxspect Gyre on each end. After watching this video, () I liked how he moved the gyres off the glass and mounted them on the center braces. I decided to do the same. To make it work, I had to modify the setup by adding rectangular pieces of egg...

Hi all, new member here. I was in the hobby around 2001-2005 with a 45 gallon tall FOWLR tank and man, have things changed. I currently have a 55 gallon (standard rectangle) FOWLR tank with 60 lbs of sand and 80 lbs of rock. I’m about 3 months in, finished the nitrogen cycle a month ago and...

Warning- this is a long read! Soooooo, I really wanted to start a saltwater tank and do it the right way. I researched, watched a few dozen videos, researched some more, saved a few dollars, watched more videos on how to get started and then made the mistake of going into a business and letting...

Anyone have experience with the Dalua return pumps and/or wave makers? I have their skimmer, which I like a lot, but not sure if I should go with their return pump as well. I was looking at a Varios as well and maybe Nero’s for their wave makers.

Hello! I just got a new pump, 357 gph Sicce Syncra for my 15 gallon aio. I’m afraid its too much and should have gone a step down, and the flow is just too much for my hammer corals. The pump is set to low, and it doesn’t seem to make any difference where I direct the return. Do I need to...

Looking for recommendations/ advice or some images of others who have a gyre in their nano cubes trying to dial in the flow. 400 gph return with random flow nozzle on it and 1056 gph mini gyre at 60% 2 seconds on/off pulsing.

I bought a single 1/2” RFG and the flow mixed with my hygger nano powerhead reach the whole tank but the flow seems low compared to what it was before. Should I leave it? Or switch to dual 1/4” RFGs? My return pump is and power head are at max settings.

I am starting a new tank, peninsula layout, 140x60x60 cm (55.2x23.6xi23.6 inches), 500L (133 gallons). I don't have ideas to the rockscape because: 1. I have a tank already with some rock but I'm not sure if I am gonna use it at all, probably just to cycle new possible rock (need some help and...

Hi all, i just bought some lovely euphyllias and I put them on a temporary rack, and kinda new with this kind of stuff and i was wondering if this place has too much flow… I am leaning towards yes but i wanna hear a 2nd opinion. Flow is coming from my return pump which is non adjustable, and its...

Whatsup guys! I have a reefer 525 g2+ tank. The video attached has the rock work. So far I have a jebao dmp-40 on both side walls offset from one another. I also have gyre cross flow pumps on the back wall. One pump on both sides of the overflow. Do you guys think this is enough to prevent...

Any suggestions on where I should place my powerheads? I have a 800gph powerhead along the back wall. The hugger 2160 got in the front going diagonally to the back right corner to hit my sps in the middle. I have a fx6 as well with outflow. Just ordered a gyre it's on the way today. Any...

I'm looking at getting a gyre Wave Maker for my Peninsula Aquarium I tried 2 power heads on both sides of the Overflow on the end and it's just not giving me the flow I like. I was thinking of doing a gyre right underneath the Overflow and blowing it across the tank since this is a peninsula...

Hi guys, I hope you're all doing well today! I have decided to take the plunge and build my own reef tank and everything seems ok, but I can't find any clear information in regards to the plumbing system that I want to use. For reference the tank I'm having custom built has dimensions 150cm x 55...

Hello. A couple weeks ago I bought an Ai orbit 4 and an Ai orbit 2 for my 120g 5’ long tank. I wasn’t really worried about flow too much because I just had fish at the time and just set them up with how someone recommended. but now I want to get into corals and just got a few frags (3) and I...

I have a durso pipe that I made for my Peninsula Aquarium and I think the bend in it needs to be lower maybe I need to cut the pipe down a few inches because I'm having to restrict the flow quite a bit and I have a good size return pump would lowering the pipe help at all?

I have a reefer 525 that’s a 60” tank. I bought two jebao dmp40’s and put them on both sides of the tank in there positions. Does anyone know a sufficient power percentage to run them on for that tank? Going to be mixed reef

I have the Red Sea reefer 525 currently and have two DMP-40’s one on each of the side walls. They are working very well. I want to add two more on each side this time more towards the bottom back wall corner to eliminate dead spots behind the rock. Do you guys think a dmp-10 on each side is...

Hi guys, just bought my first torch (I already have a Paradivisa and a Parancora) wanted to ask a feedback for the waterflow, is it too strong? Thanks!

Hey guys, Just bought the feeder 525 from Red Sea to upgrade a little bit. As far as the flow, I bought two of the vortech m40’s. The tank is 60x21x22 My rock work is gonna be mainly against the back obviously with some room in between for no dead spots…which small wave maker would you buy...

Hey guys i am very confused with my water turnover and over all flow in my aio aquamedic nano qube. My net volume is about 55 liters and it comes with the aquamedic ecodrift 4.3 as the return pump which at 100% does 4000 lph. I also have a nano wave maker in the display pushing around 1000 lph...

Good afternoon guys! I’m having a bit of an issue with my 32 Biocube I need some help with. I’ve had my tank up for about half a year now give or take, and for the most part everything is going well aside from an ich outbreak a little while back that I’ve since resolved. One thing I can’t seem...

I noticed no one has started a thread for sharing AI Orbit 4 lighting schedules yet, so I thought I’d get the ball rolling! If you own an Orbit 4, feel free to share your schedule—I'd love to see what others are using. It could be really helpful to have a collection of different setups in one...

I have a brand new, never opened and still sealed Aqua Illumination Orbit 4 gyre pump. $250 shipped. Pickup available.
