![]() I am going to have a 90 gallon tank soon. I was wondering what part of tank are considered as high/medium/small flow if i am going to put 2 of my powerheads (a 850 GPH) from each side of the tank. to make a circular flow
I am thinking high would be very near power head and then medium probably at the middle of the tank and low would be the end of the tank. But i am not sure if 2x850 GPH is best or I need higher or lower power head. I have lots of LPS that requires medium to high flow, but not sure what is consider medium or high for them. Thank you for your helps ________ Infant prilosec Last edited by Coleus; 04-30-2011 at 04:51 AM. |

![]() I used a AC 110 power filter, rated @ 500gph, a Tunze 6080 stream pump @ 2200gph and a Hydor stream pump rated @ 1200gph.
This was for both sps but also when the tank was full of soft corals. Never kept many of the softer lps though.

![]() I wouldn’t use regular powerheads in an lpa reef. The narrow current is not recommended. Use flow/ stream pump such as Tunze, Koralia, Rio, sunsun etc
