Flow for 24x24x16 sps tank
 
Would a single mp10 or a single tunze 6055 be enough flow or would I need to supplement it with more power heads?

What are you using for return?

Four mp40s should do it

i have a 24 24 14 and i have an mp10 and a tunze nano, the mp10 was not enough but thats just my tank, you should save your money and get the jebao wp25 i have 3 wp40 for my big tank, for a 100 bucks you cant go wrong just youtube these pumps there freaking awesome, i like them better then vortec because you can angle them were as the mp10 its a straight on shot,

Might want to add in an mp60 to be safe.

vortechs create undertow which cant be matched by any of those other pumps

My tank is 24x24x12 and I have 2 mp10 at 70%.

Plus 2 directional bulkheads for returns. Which blast the bottom of tank to keep crap suspended.

Try to shoot for 50 to 70 times tank turnover for your SPS
So somewhere between 2000 and 2800 GPH total (my tank is only 50 times per hour, but everything is swaying well enough)

Subtract your return pump from this and see what slack is left for the props to pick up

This is not the thread you are looking for. Move along.

Using a speed wave 790 for return
Bare bottom
15lbs of lr


I already have the tunze, paid 80$ for it bnib so technically I already saved my money :P

And I already had the mp10

Any extra flow I need will come from a couple of the 20 hk's I have laying around
