flow

On an sps dominant tank, how many times an hour are you turning over your water? I have heard 10 and I have heard 20. I run 2 3k cures and 2 mp40 for in tank flow on a 6 foot 165 gallon. I am looking yo upgrade from a mag drive to a dc return pump. I have 2-3/4 return lines plumbed to the tank...

so I am getting a koralia evolution 1500 gph for Christmas.. tank is a 90g. probably 75-80 gallons actually in the tank due to displacement of sand and rock. this will give me approximately 20X turnover in the DT softie/Zoa/Leather tank so where should I place it.. Back wall middle facing...

Just like the title says, how much flow do you run through your return pump and back to the display tank. There are a number of opinions on how much GPH you should (or shouldn’t) run through your filtration systems, but really for this poll, I’m just interested in how much flow, in approx. GPH...

So I’m just getting my DT up and running and into my third week of the cycle. Everything is normal and as expected. apex installed and working well BUT... I opted to go with the Fiji pink sand in lieu of larger grains thinking that it would be best for sand sifter gobies and bottom dwellers...

I just got a small sebae anemone. I put it in my 180g display tank that has two Tunze 6105 powerheads, a decent amount of flow. I created an area for it with three pieces of live rock in a square pattern with sand in the middle. Not sure if it moved or got blown by the flow, but now its in...

Sitting here wide awake crunching numbers, flowrates, and head loss! 29dt 20sump What flowrate do I want going through sump? My flow rate in the dt is over 10x. I’m talking about the flowrate going through the sump to facilitate the best filtration? I’m thinking 29g times 5= 145gph? Or 29dt...

Do you run the Random Flow Generator™ Nozzle in your aquarium - want to show it off? We would love to see it. Post pics of you tank - be sure to include shots that show your RFG Nozzle. Videos are great too. There is no better way to show the flow than with a video :) You can learn more abtou...

This is my full siphon on Synergy overflow. Is anyone running a flow sensor on their full siphon line? It seems no matter how closed down my gate valve is, I get sharp drops in flow. No air is making it into the lines, I have a steady trickle on the secondary drain line.

Im wondering which return pump i get. I am building a 40g. With the sump minus sand and rocks i should be at +- 60g. It will be pumping up about 3 1/2' - 4' head. What should turnover w/o power heads be. Ive heard 4times on the low end and 10 on the triton method. What are you all running?

I've yet to decide on a return pump or my IN-TANK circulation. I'm leaning towards an Icecap Gyre mounted vertically in the back corner opposite the cornerflow and one MP10 mounted in a location to be determined after aquascaping. I have both items in my Amazon cart at the moment. You guys are...

Hello all im wondering how much flow everyone is running to their sump and if you have a refugium or not. I'm trying to plan a 90 with a fuge so I'm looking for any and all input. My 44 runs 5x per hour but i have been told that's too low as well as just right for my fuge. I compensate for flow...

Hi everyone! I am starting to get into the more difficult to keep SPS corals and most likely need to increase the flow within my tank. I have an all in one system, and when I first started to get corals I got a simple powerhead. So far, it has accomplished the job. It was rather inexpensive...

I am not a huge fan of vortech's however I got a great deal on (2) WES Mp10's (both wireless).... I just am curious how the new models are better (WQD's)? And also what should I upgrade on them or if I should upgrade them at all... I usually run Jebao Rw's but I am going to give these a try...

Alright everyone so I'm going to try and be as thorough as possible. Currently running a 30 gal long tempered glass tank with an e- shopps R-100 sump. I'm using the E-Shopps hang on back overflow with my tank and it feeds down to the sump and into both the refugium chamber and the skimmer...

Just picked up 2 voyager 4s and a controller from my LFS for a very good price. I did some research before the purchase and they seem like good pumps. They will specifically be used in the back of my 93 cube to keep detritus in the water column using an alternating pump on/off between the two...

My current tank setup is a 180 gallon (6'x2'x2') mixed reef. I have four large rock pillars that are centered in the tank and equally spaced, with the smaller two forming one in the middle I have two Tunze 6105s that provide the flow, along with 4 loc line nozzles from the return (Waveline...

I know this is a general question, but I'm just looking for general answer. Is this too much flow for my mid day schedule? I just upgraded my Jebao rw-8 pumps to rw-15. They are running at 75% mid day...

I've been searching for an inline flow meter that uses 3/4" barb fittings to connect to vinyl tubing. I want to have one directly after each of my 2 UV sterilizers so I know the flow rate going through them. I just ordered 2 Sicce Silent 3.0 pumps to feed each 25 watt sterilizer. I'm trying to...

my Jebao rw-4 has stopped working. I came home from class tonight and saw that my pump was not working. I have spent probably over an hour working on it trying to fix it and nothing is helping. does anyone have any suggestions on a new pump for a 55 gallon. I already have a hydor koralia...
