flow

Wanted to ger some opinion on flow for my mixed reef. Tank is 72Lx30Wx20T. 2 MP40 on each side pointed towards each other (running at 30-40%) pushed towards from of tank. Return pump is a Vectra L2 at 80% with random flow nozzles. Would you add gyres as a supplement or replace MP40s w gyres?

I’m currently considering the Coralvue Hydros system for my tanks. I would love to get a Hydros Flow Sensor for my return, but the reviews I’ve read report the sensor’s internal diameter restricts the flow by as much as 1/4” or more. I have a 1.5” return. Is it ridiculous to think I could buy a...

Would anyone mind telling me how the flow looks on these guys? I had to do some sump maintenance and the flow has changed.

I have 2 Sicce ADV 5.5 pumps for sale. Both were used about a month before I switched to DC pumps for control. Both should have all their equipment parts in tact. They have been sitting in my garage for awhile now and I want them gone. $115 shipped each. $200 shipped for the pair.

Looking to upgrade to: VCA Flex Series Ultimate XL Ultimate Return Line Upgrade Kit Dual 3/4 Flex-Series Random Flow Generator I have 2, 3/4” Siphon Stopper returns. I want to maintain fairly high flow, so thinking 2 duals is the answer. This particular size says it connects to 1“ to 1 1/4”...

Just set up a waterbox 50.3 and looking for advice on Powerheads and flow. The tanks going to be a mixed reef but primarily LPS. My thoughts were either a gyre jump 2k or 330 or 2 Nero 3s. What’s y’all thoughts?

Hello everyone I am thinking about to upgrade my wb pen 25 to 3620 but I don’t really know about the equipment. At this point I am thinking about - 2 Red Sea reef leds 50 because I already have one - 2 maxspec gyres f230 - absolutely no clue about the skimmer completely clueless - eheim...

Yesterday I increased the flow in my tank by adding a Maxspect Gyre 330 as I was having issues with detritus building up on the sand and with cyanobacteria in a few low flow areas. I'm running it on a low setting (no higher than +/- 30% power) and most corals seem fine with it but today my...

Looking for flow advice for my tank, bothnin terms of equipment, flow patterns, and aquascape. It is a 72” x 24” x 36”, setup as a room divider between two columns, with overflows on both side panels and both front and back viewing panels. Intend to be an sps dominant mixed reef with tangs and...

So I’m having a hard time deciding on which way to increase the flow inside my tank. I’m debating on getting the hygger wavemaker 1600 model or the mightyjet 538 with a spinstream attachment. Just would like some other input on which is better. My tank is the IM 15 gallon

Trying to figure out the best placement and flow pattern for my 40 gallon AT cube. I have 2 Nero 3s and a mighty jet pump. The aquascape is centered in the tank with the left side being higher.

Hi, I have a 75-gallon tank that has been set up for a year now. I am still learning a lot and thought I would ask all of you if my flow looks good. The video of the corals are ones that you can see swaying. Thank you for any advice. Power heads: Aqueon 950 in the bottom back corner 7...

I've had some trouble getting even flow in my Max E 260 and I'm currently fighting a Cyano outbreak so looking for advice. Currently the bulk of the flow is coming from two Tunze 6095s at the back of the tank pointed at each other. I have them controlled by my GHL profilux to create random...

What’s going on everybody! I’m looking at a couple Wavemakers and not sure which one I should pull the trigger on. I have an aq110 set up as a fuge! That says it can be from 150-500 gph. I will have no sand bed! As far as pump wave makers go is this over kill? Jebao SLW Wave Maker Flow Pump...

Tried a few different wetsides today and thought I would share: BONUS: feel free to critique my aquascape (I will add an island on the front left) Not a scientific test but speps: Mp10, 40% Flow, 32g Fiji EXT (only filled below the overflow for now) - about 23" left to right. Sorry for the...

Can I bury the trunk of my Kenya tree deep in the sand? It keeps shrinking in the flow and the other place that I can move it to just has a sand bed. I had it in the sand before but it fell over. I need to really bury it.

Hello! I am new to the hobby and am in the process of planning out my first reef tank. The tank that I have selected is 48" long and 24" wide and 20" tall with two flexible return pump discharge points in the middle back of the tank. I am very interested in the Vortech MP40 powerheads but I...

Tell Us About Your Aquarium. what brand is it - is it a custom build or a off-the-shelf aquarium? Is it an all-in-one or does it have a sump, or maybe a canister filter? How many gallons is it, and what are the dimensions? Is it a mixed reef, fish only SPS dominant? Or, maybe a freshwater build?

I have a pair of Icecap 2k Gyres for sale. They both come with the controllers but these are also Hydros wave engine compatible. Both pumps work great and have just been cleaned up. Asking $175 for the pair shipped to the lower 48. I only accept PayPal.

Last night I made an adjustment to my flow as it was a little overwhelming for many or my coral. When I checked the tank this morning, I noticed everyone was happier, but my Hammer and Frogspawn look different - as you can see in the pic, they both are loose. They used to have their tentacles...

Hi, I have these two power heads, they are both hyggers but the tiny one on the left was rated 1500 ghp and the one on the right has no flow control, but tis rated 500 gph, Now I know thats alot of flow for the left one, I turned it all the way down on its lowest setting and I saw it was still a...

I recently set up a pro clear 150. Lfs sold me pretty hard on a single redsea wavemaker 25. Put it in, I don’t believe it’s adequate flow so I planned on getting a second one for a crisp $320. THEN BRS post the video yesterday about the maxspect gyre cloud edition and it’s made me rethink...
