I'm just setting up the refurbished tank to Triton spec's and have a query with regard to flow.
I have a RedSea Reefer 350 tank with a Synergy Triton sump.
I have an Octo Vaios 8 pump and using it to feed the return via a manifold that has a chiller, and 2 reactors attached ( ROWA and carbon). The return to the tank via Neptune FMK is at 1900 litres an hour and the display volume after rocks removed from the equation is 240 litres.
According to Triton I need 10x display volume as flow. I have around 7.9x . Will that be OK? or a little too far short?
(Even at that rate it is pumping some serious water!! )
The only other way I can think of is to run another pump purely for the manifold, but I don't really want another pump in the sump, is cramped as it is .....
