Flow for lps dom

[mike wilson]

In a 75g would 2 rw-8 jebaos be to much flow?

You may have to turn them down but seems like they should work. My chalice, acans and hammer corals seem to like very low flow best.

I have two rw-4 on my 50g cube *24x24x20* I keep it on the lowest speed and have the pumps on C, so they alternate.


I think two rw-8's would be fine on the lowest setting.

I don't think the rw-4 have a enough flow for mine though 48x18x21

I was just trying to give you a reference, but I really do think two rw-4 would be enough and you could turn up the speed, it has about 8 speed settings and two pumps on 1 is plenty in a 24x24.

I don't use the wave maker, but adding that to the mix there is massive flow from these small pumps.

Also, the max speed for a RW-4 is 1056gph, and I just looked at a hydor online and one that does 1056gph is rated for a 45-75 aquarium.
