flow

My bigger issue is a have really low flow in my 20g tall. I had a power head in there that could go as low like 130 gph if I remember correctly. I turned it off after my coral banded shrimp had a rough molt and now can’t keep his footing if I turn it back on. I have seen people use sponge...

Basically im running a Mp10 on my Nuvo Fusion 20g this is my mobius schedule. it seems to be making my hammer corals sort of whip around looking like too much flow. Now I have two sections of the tidal swell and the middle is reef crest i was wondering how would i go about switching it over to...

Howdy! Installing my Reefer 350 (73g) next week, and I’m pretty doggone excited. Gotten a bunch of new bells and whistles (Reefmat 500 on order for example!) thanks to my scouring the pages here. Anyhow, curious about flow. I like the idea of a gyre quite a bit, and I’m curious how folks feel...

Hello, I've a question regarding the flowrate of my return pump. I'm plumping my aquarium at the moment but the amount of elbows i've used makes me doubting if i will be having enough flowrate through my sump. I've added some pictures below so you understand the way it's plumbed at the moment...

Can anyone recommend a suitable wavemaker for my Waterbox Marine X 35.1 33g (18"x18"x18") bubble tip anemones tank? Currently using an Octopulse 2 off another tank but it's way too powerful.

I have a ProStar Rimless 230 V2. 72x24x26 which Ecotech's website calculates to be 182 gallons in the display tank. I have various coral frags, and a few big softies. No acro or other coral that people say require a high flow rate. I have 2 MP60s and 2 MP40s. I listened to a buddy recently who...

I just added sps coral to a tank that had no coral and 10x turnover at maybe 3000 gallons per hour. My fish have been in there for a year now. Moorish idol, Queen angel, and 5 tangs. I just put in 2 mp 40s that I plan on running around 100% to get the flow I need. The fish are not use to this...

I have a jebao croos flow in my reefer 350 and pushes a ton but I need something on opposite side. Thinking a mp40 but cost is way higher for simply no wires inside tank. I like jebao and other cheats but I hate wires in tank. So are the mp40s really worth the extra cost or should I just tough...

My 40 gallon surface at night

Hi everyone! I need some advice and this is the best place in the world for high quality reef advice, so please bear with me and thanks in advance for your help! Basically I was skimmerless for a couple of weeks after removing my previous skimmer to prepare the sump for a skimmer upgrade and...

I have a Red Sea max nano that’s a very mixed reef. Right now I have the stock pump and one Nero 3 powehead on 20-60% facing different directions. Should I get a second Nero 3? I don’t like the look of so much of the glass being blocked and the cost is a factor. Also worried about too much flow...

Hello everyone, I have an innovative marine nuvo 20 and got a MP10WQD about a week ago. I do plan on getting another one later on. Whats everyone's scheduled look like? I can't seem to find a good flow in my tank. Some corals are getting to much and some not enough. Which I notice that some...

Hi all, I'm fairly new in the hobby and I would like to ask for some advice regarding flow for a peninsula 527L-140Gallon. As this is probably sth pretty personal regarding aquascape, sandbed and livestock I'd love to hear your opinion looking at my tank photos below. I'm really struggling if...

Selling two 1/2” sea swirls. I refurbished these. Both have new rubber seals and food grade silicone grease. The motors have both been rebuilt. Cleaned and lubricanted. They are super quiet $60 each shipped or $110 for the pair shipped

I have a 55gal long tank, all types of coral. Right now mainly softies(Zoas) and trying some sps(birds nest) and Lps (blueberry leptastrea). It seems my Stony corals are having some issues and are not to happy. I don't think i ever thought about how powerful my wavemaker we're until I saw...

Hi everyone. I made a thread the other day which looked at hopefully getting my tank to start growing some corals. One of the suggestions was to look at increasing the flow of my tank. I have a 180 gallon, 6 foot mixed reef aquarium. Filled with acros, euphillia, heliofungia plating coral...

Hi guys, I have been scouring the threads for awhile now, in search for potential solutions. This is my first post and I have finally decided to ask for some help. I have a 180 gallon reef aquarium I bought second hand. I have owned the tank for about 2 years or so now. I started with wet rock...

SEEKING ADVICE: Skimmer and flow I own a gen2 bubble King 200 mini, which i've been thinking to use on my next build (75g display tank + 30g sump). In addition i'll be running a filter roller. My concern is that the skimmer is oversized and that i might be better with a smaller or simply run...

I’ve got a 90 gallon tank, It currently has mostly spa and lps, but it’s pretty mixed. I decided to try cross flow pumps and accidentally ended up getting two different versions, I purchased a cp90 (jebao cross flow pump) and then accidentally got an SCP 90, I literally for the life of me can’t...

Is this flow looking good for my torch? Added about 4 hours ago

So, ive been running two jebao 90s on a 90 gallon tank, I cannot for the life of me get the flow to be a nice and gentle breeze, it’s either no flow or a ******* hurricane. I have my pumps aimed at the surface, I have them on both ends of my tank on the side glass, I run the left one of pulse...

I was wondering if I could use some kind of heat mat to bring my 15 Liter Pico reef to a set temp with an Inkbird temp controller. I would buy a Thermo Canister Filter but OASE is from the UK and it's like $100 delivery plus the $180 for the 100w OASE Thermo Canister. And I still think 100w...

Just added this into my tank couple hours ago. Is the flow OK for a gonipora? https://youtube.com/shorts/mjs0EyoGZAk?feature=share

I’ve got a 200 gallon peninsula build I’m planning to transfer my existing Reefer 350 into. The BRS videos sold me on Caribsea Ocean Direct sand as I wasn’t a super fan of my current sand and I liked the idea of hopefully bringing in the bacteria from the direct ocean sand. Unfortunately, the...
