My tank is 60x30x24. There are moments that I look at my tank and feel that I'm just not getting enough flow in areas.
Flow package at the moment:
return: Waveline DC 10000 ll, 1" return pipe to 3/4" loc-line T'ed to 2 1/2" flanged nozzle (x2) One return, two nozzles.
In-tank: two Tunze 6105 separated L/R walls 6 1/2" below the water surface and one Tunze 6025 6" off the sand bed behind the rocks.
I'm looking at a combined water flow of around 15,000 gph in my tank, but still have what I consider dead zones for flow (i.e detritus collection)
My over all goal is to have a mixed reef, but currently have mainly LPS as I'm still waiting for the NTS to pass (7months old). I have been thinking of adding flow accelerators to the return, but not sure if they are a waste of money or if the Waveline would be hurt as I have read that the basic idea behind the eductor is creating a back pressure (thumb on a garden hose).
Sorry if this is written in a confusing manner, but are there any thoughts or experiences that you've had?
