flow

Last night I made an adjustment to my flow as it was a little overwhelming for many or my coral. When I checked the tank this morning, I noticed everyone was happier, but my Hammer and Frogspawn look different - as you can see in the pic, they both are loose. They used to have their tentacles...

Hi, I have these two power heads, they are both hyggers but the tiny one on the left was rated 1500 ghp and the one on the right has no flow control, but tis rated 500 gph, Now I know thats alot of flow for the left one, I turned it all the way down on its lowest setting and I saw it was still a...

I recently set up a pro clear 150. Lfs sold me pretty hard on a single redsea wavemaker 25. Put it in, I don’t believe it’s adequate flow so I planned on getting a second one for a crisp $320. THEN BRS post the video yesterday about the maxspect gyre cloud edition and it’s made me rethink...

Is this too much flow? Have had issues with positioning in the past, resulting in the loss of corals which has made me paranoid at this point.

So I have an aqueon 29 tank with a fluval 307 canister filter along with 2 hygger mini DC wave makers at 1600gph each. My rockwork is pretty much in the center of the tank. One wave maker is on the right side wall in the lower back corner which is pushing water behind the rockwork to the...

I have had a Cyanobacteria outbreak and have seemingly good water parameters, granted my tank isn’t the most stable because it is around 3 1/2 months old and fluctuates, I have siphoned most of it and a water change, and will get chemi clean if it persists for a while, but I was wondering if my...

Hello guys, I need to switch to a larger tank from my nano as it’s getting overgrown and I am going to go with Red Sea reefer 250 g2, now since I don’t have that much money for equipment right now I can’t buy MP40s or an expensive return so my idea was to go with: -Jebao SCP 70 or SCP 90...

Whatsup guys, I have an aqueon 29gal standard reef, been up for 6-8weeks. I have mixed reef and also two clown fish with a couple of snails and hermits. My question lies with flow. I have a fluval 370 canister with the flow fully open and also 2 hygger mini DC wave makers(1600gph max for...

Set up my sump and my brand new Jebao DCP 18000 controller won’t let me adjust the flow. It worked fine last night, adjusted speed up and down, no problem. It is not locked. I can press for 3 seconds and it flashes to indicate it is locked or unlocked like it should, but will not allow me to...

Hey all, I’ve got a question regarding flow for my tank, a Waterbox 20. I have my nero mounted on the left side about two thirds up, but I’ve noticed it kinda gets a dead spot underneath itself with minimal flow, which cyano tends to love:/ My options look at mounting another powerhead in the...

Hello, so I have a marine x waterbox 90.3 I currently have 2 MP40’s. I have flow on the back wall and the front wall of my tank. I’ve noticed not much flow in the middle of the tank. I’m interested in maybe buying another pump for flow centering the middle of the tank. I have been looking at...

Just giving an update to what I’ve been working on !!! A buddy of mine gave me an ATS did a lot of adjustments. Made it a hang over the side on the sump. Shy on space LoL. Currently just running hose water out in garage-to figure out how my flows are going to work out and make sure I like the...

Hey all. I have two MP40s in my Red Sea Reefer 250, have had them both on the sides of the tank and on the back glass and am wondering what other peoples opinions are on placement in this dimension tank. I mainly moved them because i felt like I was getting serious dead spots behind my aquascape...

Using the movement of this beautiful algae I’m working on landscaping , Does this flow look good? It’ll be a softie & LPS tank. I was finally able to do some deep maintenance after some procrastination (and replacing my RODI canister) and I decided to swap out a smaller power head I had in this...

Hi all! So I have a 125 long LPS dominated mixed reef that I run on a pretty tight budget. I slowly add corals and upgrade equipment over time and it has been up and running for about a year and a half now. Everything is doing well in the tank, most of the corals are growing, albeit slowly in...

I've recently replaced the plumbing on my 135gal. The drain is basically a straight shot on one side and about a 6ft stretch on the other. I want to upgrade the pump to get more flow through the filtration and more flow in the tank. I currently have a jebao 4000. Looking to install a dcq10000 of...

So I got two MP40’s and have a Sps tank. I’ll post pictures but i have it set to reef crest during the day and have lagoon at night at about a 10% drop so my fish can sleep easy without being blown around. There a issue with these schedules and coral flow requirements?

Hi everyone, Longtime lurker, first time poster. I've had my tyree toadstool for about a year now. I started with a 5g tank, and boy did he grow quick! In July I set up a 10g IM Nuvo. I let it cycle for a couple months, added some hermits and a goby, a couple zoas, all is well (nitrates are a...

I've liked to add some flow sensors to my tank. I've had my eye on them for awhile; but the low reviews on BRS have scared me off. Anyone have any experience with these. It seems like the most common complaints it that it restricts flow. One user mentioned his 4700gph pump was only getting...

Hello all!! I am really hoping someone can help me with this so I don’t have to replace the controller completely. My ReefWave45 is showing on the Wifi connection and in the app as a 25 so it no longer works. It’s 6 months past the warranty so they are offering a discounted controller but I’m...

I’ve been having some issues with coral growth and one of the things that people recommend I do was get more flow. I have the Fluval evo 13.5 and I purchased a 256 gph power head but no matter where I placed it it thrashed my corals. So I now just ordered the sicce.5 as a pump and was thinking...

I’ve been looking to upgrade the flow for my fluval evo 13.5 so I got a power head that was at 256 gph but that was way to strong and I can’t seem to find anyone that weaker and I’m not sure what to do. My spending range is around 40-50 bucks but will not complain if theirs a cheap option lol...
