puttputt Posted November 28, 2007 Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 Not many reef, if you have a sump, your return pump alone is probably more than 10x. Mind you, I tend to look at things through acro tinted glasses , so lets post up flow rates then - don't forget return pumps and all power heads and streams etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted November 28, 2007 Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 1x Tunze Nano 6025 (2500LPH) 1x OTP-3000 Return Pump (3000LPH) 1x Resun Wavemaker 15000 (2,000LPH-15,000LPH (Auto-switching)) I maybe be adding 2x 6045 and moving my 6025 to reduce dead zones. Tank Size 500L. Turnover = 15x-41x at present. I also have a lot of sand showing. maybe 40% of my tank bottom can be seen. I just like the look of having sand, plus it allows me to get fish that will sit on the bottom or dig holes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puttputt Posted November 28, 2007 Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 that makes it up to 40 X ?? Mine is 2 Tunze 6100s, 2 tunze 6201s, both on the multicontroller, but only pulse between 80% and 100%. One 6080 on full time, 2 wavyseas contolling the return flow from a sequence Hammerhead at around 14000l/hr (conservative) Water volume - 1600l Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tHEcONCH Posted November 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 Eerrr... sometimes I spin the nozzle around on my RSM... but seriously, the biggest problem I have is stopping the flows becoming one big cake mixer - I'm trying to use the 'pulses' in the pumps, and deflection off the glass, to create a few interference patterns and random currents. It all ends up pretty linear at the far end of the tank, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One 6080 on full time, 2 wavyseas contolling the return flow from a sequence Hammerhead at around 14000l/hr (conservative) 2500+3000+15000 = 20,500LPH / 500 = 41x Once I have the 6045s it will be 2500 + 4500 + 4500 + 3000 + 15000 = 29,500 / 500 = 59x However most of that will be going against a tank side and not directly into/over corals.
