On my 135 mixed reef (72x24x20) I have one Tunze 6000 on a single controller (1850 gph) plus an Eheim 1260 return split three ways (one looped back into the sump (~400 gph back into the tank).
That's not all that much but I have less live rock than most others have in tanks of this size and the rock is arranged to allow for Gyre-type flow - think of a racetrack with the water circling around the track and the rocks in the middle infield. So I've been able to get away with less gph and powerheads. |
flow
tank size 56 gal 36x18x20.
mag 12 return. mag 18 closed loop on a scwd total flow around 2360. |
33 Gallon LPS and SEIO 620 (or maybe 820).
YEAH BABY |
2 x Koralia 3's in my 55G. Oh, and the awesome flow from both the Phosban Reactor and the Skimmer.
How 'bout them apples? |
Water flow
My 125 gal. SPS dominated tank has 2 x Tunze 6100 w/ single-controller, Tunze wavebox and 2 x Koralia 4. I also have SEDRA 9000 for my return.

on my current 40 I've got a korilla 3 and a korilla 1. The skimmer adds some flow, but not a lot, maybe 225gph, at least that's what the pump is rated for.
On my new 70 that I've ordered, I am planning on running 500gph on the return line from the sump and moving the korilla 3 and korilla 1 over to the new tank. I'll probably dump the 1 and replace it with another 3 or maybe step up to a 4. It's a lot of softies and LPS with a single SPS. |
