Seapora corner flo vs Marineland

Necrodaemus · Aug 2, 2023

Scored a good deal on a Seapora 90g with corner flo. I noticed after getting it home that the corner flo doesn’t have the lower weirs like the Marineland tanks do. Does this make much a difference?

Not really. The vast majority of tanks just have the surface weir.

Exactly my thoughts. I’d say the flow into the lower weirs isn’t that great anyway…the siphon and pull being the greatest at the top.

I also imagine sandsifters would wreak a lot of havoc every time they stir anything up (I know in my own tank my overflow would be filled sand).
