enough flow??
 

just curious if I have enough flow? I have a Mag350 running my sump, and a Quiet one 3000 for a closed loop. The closed loop has 6 outlets at the top pointing down. Theres not alot of 'force' but I have turnover. Just wondering if I should get a Koralia 1 or something? Dont want to have too much force that the fishes have to allways be swimming strongly and never get a rest?

Personally, I would want more flow than that. If you add a Koralia, I would suggest a 2 or 3, not a 1. The 1's are rather weak.

How miuch is to much though? Like will the fish suffer if there is to much flow?

Not that kind of flow. Maybe if you had 1500x turnover and your fish were all nano-sized. :lol: Having said that, I've seen tanks over 1500x turnover and the fish didn't suffer. If the fish want out of the flow, they can always find a more peaceful corner, but generally they prefer the higher flow.

Based on the types of corals you are keeping (according to your signature) I would think that your closed loop would provied more than adequate flow. The Euphyllia family of corals prefers lower flow anyways so adding additional flow might result in a decrease in polyp extension.

just want tp make sure im stirring up all the detritus and not gettin settling deposits, which it looks like I am

My tank is all LPS. It's a 33g tank and I have a MaxiJet 1200, MJ400, and a Koralia 2. The Koralia 2 is rated much higher than the MJ1200, but the force of the MJ1200 is quite a bit stronger due to the impeller of the MJ compared to the propeller of the Koralia. I also have an AquaClear mini running carbon, and an MJ1200 running my skimmer. So I have much more flow than you do, and my LPS don't mind. My Euphyllias are in a lower flow area though.

OK, would 1 K-2 be enough, or 2 K-1's be better? there is a seller on ebay right now selling pairs. gawd, I ask soo many stupid questions

you could try a "gyre" Which is like directing your flow so it moves all the water in a whirlpool style pattern around the perimeter of the tank. I use it in my 55g tank with one Korallia 4

thx, thats kinda how it is right now I't a 1/4 round tank, so the flow scoots nicely across the curved front.

i have 2x koralia 3's in my 40g breeder and my fish LOVE it. that would put me around 2000 gph of flow in my tank including my return pump.
