Vinnie Posted August 23, 2018 Report Share Posted August 23, 2018 Hi all, so i'm finally getting back into marine, but lost my old notes. Is 20x the tank volume the best minimum water movement to aim for? Any other tips people have found works well for their tank?

TBrewerton Posted August 23, 2018 Report Share Posted August 23, 2018 Hi Vinnie, I think you will find people will give you a huge variation of answers on this. I personally go off the Triton Method which aims for 10x turnover per hour (After accounting for head height loss etc of pumps) I know others who are much lower in flow and others who are much higher. I think the easiest way is to think about the stock you are aiming to hold and then work out what sort of environment they like best and work back from there.
