According to manufacturers of smart return pumps you should NOT vary the intensity of your pump throughout the day, even if this feature is available. If you do so you will have varying water levels in the overflow box, sump and skimmer, causing all kinds of problems and never being able to keep...

Hello All: I added a UV sterilizer to my new build and the return pump is feeding two returns nozzles. I plumbed the tank with a T going to one return nozzle and the other going to the UV sterilizer (which then comes out the other return nozzle). Two gate valves are controlling the flow to one...

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...

I have a COR20 on my 100 gallon DT, 34 gallon sump (it's trigger sapphire 34). Whenever I do any sort of dosing, I generally just say 100 gallons. I've been having a problem with high nutrients. For example, my phosphates yesterday were 0.34ppb (Hanna ULR). I run GFO mixed with Carbon in a...

Hi! I am new to salt water tanks and I have just recently gotten a 75g display tank with a 29g sump. My tank is not drilled yet (that is something that I will be doing soon). My biggest question is do I need to match the GPH being drained and the GPH of the return pump? I know that I shouldn't...

I was thinking of upgrading tanks and I was curious I have a canister filter that’s a 525 and a 100 gallon protein skimmer I was also going to get a backup filter which has 400 gph could that work also it would be a predator tank is that enough gph or no

I have a 75 gallon with a filter canister that has 525 gph will that be good for a mini predator tank since they have a huge bio load or should it be more also it will have 4 predatory fish

I have a 90 gallon Aquarium what would be a good flow rate in GPH? I plan to do soft and LPS Coral

I’ve been posting so many threads today, but I’m trying to really dial in my settings so my corals are happy. I have an AI Nero 3 in my 25 gallon tank. Currently it’s set to ~1,100 GPH. This is for my mixed reef tank with SPS, LPS, and softies. Would you say this amount of flow is too much...

I have 4 zoas, 5 SPS corals, and 2 LPS. Most require moderate currents except for the 2 Birdsnest I have. It use to be a FOWLR. Im more concerned with the fishes as im running a mini protein skimmer and HOB filter with a GPH of 200 and they stay away from that area of the tank. Ive been reading...

Hello, I have a 100 gallon DT, 34 gallon sump.. about 100 gallons total water volume I think. I am running an AquaUltraviolet UV sterilizer, 15 watts. I know, low side. Does anyone know what the GPH should be for parasites? Measuring with a gallon BRS jug, I was at 64gph, and I just raised it...

Like the title says, I'm looking to buy a Current USA eFlux 660gph wave pump. I'm not sure if this is posted in the right place or whatever, but I can't find too many for sale on this forum and was hoping someone would see this thread and want to sell. I have all the equipment for the light and...

Hello, quick question. Is 82gph enough flow for an entire pico 3g? It would be all from the return pump. I could upgrade down the road if I need to. I plan on just keeping some Zoas and acans. Thank you in advance.

Hello:) I have a new Red Sea 425xl up and running. Been cycled for a while and already have a decent stock in the tank. Recently added 15 corals and have a question on flow. I really want this to be a mixed reef but I read so many different things about flow. I’ve seen up to x80+ In some...

Alright, so I got a Innovative Marine Concept Abyss Peninsula tank last year from Reef-a-Palooza and was only able to set it up now. The stock return pump turned out to be pretty noisy no matter how much I fiddled with the impeller. I need a return pump that can fit in a 2.8” by 6” footprint...

Hello, I’m a somewhat new reefer in the hobby I established a 10 gallon aquarium with 2 clownfish back in may of last year and recently I have gotten a new aquarium for free. It is 20 gallons and I was wondering what would be the best GPH for the aquarium I have yet to buy the power head but I...

First, I want to say that I love these pumps. If I were writing a review on a vendor website, it would be "5 stars" and "yes, I would recommend to a friend." These are my first controllable pumps and I find the app to be really easy to use, fun to program, and I think built-in flow meter is...

Big shout out to @CJs Aquariums for spending the time to come up with the settings for the standing wave using the gyre pumps. CJ and I are both running 230's on our tanks, his is a 120 gallon 4x2x2 and I have the Reefer 250 36x20x21. Our schedule's are a little different and I obviously use...

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...
