Is this enough flow or to little

[KiddoReefer]

Trying to see if this is enough or to little flow still new to the hobby and don’t got a good feel on what enough flow Video

Personally I feel its a bit low, I would add a powerhead on the opposite side and aim it upward toward the surface and toward the return flow to try to create random flow patterns.

ok i have 2 nero 3 in the tank but have them off as i just installed a random Flow generator and felt it was to much do you have any video or things i can look at to get a good idea if it enough flow or to little

I would just get a small SICCE and direct it as was suggested you don't want it blasting the coral. Also is that all you have for circulation? you need some sort of filtration system to most importantly cycle the water at least in my opinion

i have a 32 gallon biocube with a upgraded sicce 1.5 357 gph pump for the return

So that means 357/32 is 11x turnover in the tank, which is a bit low. Generally the minimum suggested is 20x turnover. Personally I run my tanks at much higher turnover. Try to eliminate dead flow spots and push more water into your filtration system.

Ok just changes my pumps around I have a sicce syncra 3.0 as my return now That around 714 gph

Tune down the Nero 2 and randomize it. I like wave pattern personally and that should be enough

would you have any suggestion on where to place the nero 3 im having hard time on placement I have two random flow nozzles on the return pump split with lock line

Back bottom right. Just high enough to avoid disturbing the sand and to the right enough to not blast the coral on the right. You want the two pumps to be essentially fighting each other, back and forth as that Nero ramps up and down.

So if I’m looking right at my tank

Oh you can't put it on the back wall or else the outside magnet will be in the overflow area of the sump.?!!???!!! Well then maybe just opposite of where you have it now. On the left side so it flows around behind you scape. Play around.

Coolest gadget in modern reefing

I feel like controllable wave makers are the coolest gadgets in modern reefing. Watching soft corals or long tentacle LPS swaying and undulating, going from getting intense flow to barely any at all, is mesmerizing. Randomized flow is the cherry on top in reefing, all thanks to wavemakers. My...
