Hello fellow reefers!

I am going to be setting up my second reef tank early next month. I ordered a Waterbox 35.1. If you are unfamiliar with the tank, it is a 22 gallon cube at 17.7” with an 11 gallon sump. I currently have a very lightly used Vectra m1 pump that I haven’t used in years. I have been looking for an application for it and am wondering if this would be too over powered for this size tank. I am having trouble finding any information on the minimum flow rate of this pump. Any opinions would be appreciated.

Thank you!

Here’s what I found. I would assume flow wise you’d be fine even with it tuned all the way down.

Hard to find the minimum actual flow rate of the Vectras but my M2 on it's lowest setting BARELY pushes any water atall so I don't see it being an issue turning it down, you'd probably still want to run it around 25%
