Full moon perhaps??

Sorry about the fish, I just gave mine up cause it started eating coral so perhaps it's for the best. You got a wicked pic to remember him by too!

Dart and similar pumps are no different in design than most hot tub pumps, they will work perfectly fine turning on and off every so often. Would also give the motor a chance to cool. But I digress....

10X turnover is enough for LPS only. You can do more but going over 20X may actually cause problems but it does really depend on tank size, layout and flow velocity.
