Powerheads for 8' tank
 

Looking for suggestions for how many powerheads I should have for my tank

Tank is 8'x30"x20"

Corals: lps + softies

I've got approx 350lbs of rock in the tank but I'll be going down to around 200lbs as I sell it

Currently running 1 mp40esw and 4 korilia 1050s

Is this enough? Also how should they be positioned? I have the mp40 on one end, 2 korilias on the other end and 2 spaced out on the back

I use a Mag8 by Hydor Koralia. Works great all by itself on a 165g. Personally, I'd take out all the small HK & would have invested in the Mag8 right off the bat.

I might actually have a couple, I'll have to check my equipment room

NOT the Mag8 Return pump, but HK Mag8. Shape and size of small peewee football.

Sicce voyager 7,8,9 and 10 would be a good bet. And there smaller then a magnum 8

Ya I have a mag8 but they're to big and bulky

I might be doing a closed loop setup in the future

I have two brand new MP60Wes for sell if you interested PM me.

My wife would kill me I have RO buy her a car first

Buy her a $1400(GST included) car and you can these for yourself.:biggrin:

If I ever get an 8 foot tank (or 6ft for that matter) I will make sure i have a Tunze Wavbox in there.

Dual wave on a tank as long as yours...

I run 1 tunze 6105, 2 mp10 on back wall and i tunze 6125 which i switch out with a new k4 every once in a while to change the flow. This on an 8 foot tank

I almost want to sell my 4 mp40 and buy the pair of mp60 from you when you first have it posted.

4 MP40s are better than 2 MP60s.

I get different flow pattern at 80% flow, but with the mp60 I can probably get away with 30% of flow and it should be near dead silent.

on my 400 i have the following (with pretty decent flow everywhere):

4 x 6105
2 x waveboxes

It's still here when ever you change your mind.
