Water Flow Rate

Recommended Posts

I have a 140L system (120L display tank & 20L sump) and a Moray 2300 return pump.

That return pump is rated as 2,200 liters per hour and max height 2.2m

I've put a plastic ball valve on the return line to slow it down in an attempt to make my system quieter, I've got this set to between 40-50%. Will this slow the rate of the filtration too much for marine?

Thoughts?

Even if it's pumping 700L an hour the system (1/3 the pumps capacity) it's still turning over 6 times an hour..
