Nothing wrong with that if you are keeping SPS... probably a bit much for LPS/softies though... (58x)

I wouldn't have found this thread if it hadn't been revived... it's been very informative! I'm aiming for an intermittent random flow in my nano, so this thread has been invaluable. Thanks to everyone who put in their 0.02!

Decided to look it up for "official" flow rates of my stuff after your post......

K1 - 400gph
F204- 180gph

580gph/15 = 39x turnover
580gph/12 = 48x turnover

Somehow I thought the K1 was 480gph, and the F204 was 200gph? Anywho, more realistic numbers here now. My Fluval runs empty minus carbon so I'm sure its a little higher than 180 running empty, but who knows...
