What kind of flow do you have in your Bio Cube?

I have a 28g Bio Cube and I'm not really impressed with the flow in it. I modified my tank and removed the back chambers to make more room. I placed a Koralia2 in there and it has been working but I'd like to get a little more flow, but I don't want to sacrifice more space.

I'm wondering what everyone else is using in their Bio Cubes?

I'm thinking that I may try a WP25, I have heard that there is a power inverter that you can get that slows the flow a bit. Has anyone tried this?

Are you running the stock return pump? I replaced mine, but there's only so much flow you can get running to the back chambers. It helps a bit though.

No, I've totally removed my back chambers and return pump. It adds a lot of space to the tank for scaping.

Two MP 10’s (1/2 way) stock return and sump return (Tunze 1073.020). Sounds like lots of flow but the SPS LOVE IT.....

I as well run (2) Maxijet 900, and two Hydor 1150's. Sound like a tremendous amount for such a small tank, but truthfully all of my corals are quite happy. Mixed reef heavily stocked!!

I have been waiting for the WP-10 for months. I have been using 2 Koralia 425s and they are weaker than my 2 return pumps on MJ1200s.
I have a WP-25 but it is already more than enough for my 70G so in the 30G I would have wet floors.
