Interesting, did you notice that repeatably mentioned the 10x flow is general guideline tank flow but obviously some tanks require more. I just think it's easier to run 10x through the sump and then add extra if it's needed with power heads. I also mentioned time after time that I'm not arguing for 10x sump turnover nor am I recommending it. My point has always been that people have options, and just because some choose to produce there tank flow differently than others doesn't mean they are wrong.

I never took a side and said what was wrong and what was right. Simply put, people think differently and have different priorities, low flow or high flow, it makes little difference.
