200 gal SPS

2xTunze 6100 = 6800 gph
2xK4 = 2400 gph
1000 gph return

10,200/200 = 51x turnover per hr

Will be adding wavebox

i think everyones tank has changed over the months eh, :lol:

ok, so here;s my updated info

125gallon SPS

last post was: 5900gph, turn over was 47 times per hour

present post: 8123gph, turn over is 65 times per hour

Well then
 

Main Tank (65G)-
2 K4's 1200 GPH each
Ocean Runner 6500- 900 GPH (Calc. @ 700 GPH for head height)
Turn Over= 47X

Frag/ Zoa Tank (60G)
2 K4's 1200 GPH each
Return from main tank 700GPH
Return from fuge 500 GPh (Calc. @ 400 GPh for head height)
Turn Over= 58X

Fuge (27G)
Ocean runner 2000 500 GPh (Calc. @ 400 for head height)
K1- 400 GPH
Turn Over= 33X

Total- 152G, total turn over 7600GPH
Total Turn over Per hour- 50X

90 gal future sps,
2x Tunze Turbelle 6125 @ 3170 gph ea
600 gph return
= 6940 gph / 77.11 turnover/hr

2 x 2200 Maxijet Mods - 4400gph
Hydor Koralia4 - 1200gph
Hydor Koralia3 - 850gph
Tunze Nanostream 6045 - 1185gph
Sedra9000 - (after head loss) - 500gph

That's 8135 gph on a 210g mixed reef or about 39 times flow.

225gal mixed reef:

Reeflo Barracuda (after head loss) = 2500gph
2x MaxiJet 1200's with upgrade = 4200
Korallia 4 = 1200
-----
7900 = aprox 35x turnover



90gal mixed reef:

Eheim 1262 (after head loss) = 500gph
2x Korallia 4 = 2400
-------
2900 = aprox 32x turnover

Decided to look it up for "official" flow rates of my stuff after your post......

K1 - 400gph
F204- 180gph

580gph/15 = 39x turnover
580gph/12 = 48x turnover

Somehow I thought the K1 was 480gph, and the F204 was 200gph? Anywho, more realistic numbers here now. My Fluval runs empty minus carbon so I'm sure its a little higher than 180 running empty, but who knows...

I am now at appox. 9500 gph plus the wavebox (not sure how to figure out that water movement).... Running 2 tunze 6105's @ 3434gph each and a dart return at approx 2600 gph. So I guess somewhere around 63 X turnover.

Cool. Was curious about other peoples flows and found this thread.

150g
2x tunze 6105 (3434 gph each at full blast)
1x Mag18 return (1300gph; accounting for head loss)
--------
total: 8168 gph ( / 150g ) = ~54x

at night I like to throttle the tunze down to 50% to give the fish a more peaceful rest.
