Water flow

[mark]

145g BB mixed reef. Dart (3600gph) on a CL with OM 4 way, plus a Iwaki MD-70RLT on return (with head I'm still flowing ~1000gph).

How tank is laid out (returns and rock) think I'm about max for flow as getting difficult to find lower flow areas for stuff like LPS and clams.

On my 210g LPS dominated reef, I have a Hydor Koralia4 (1200gph), 2 @ Tunze Nanostream 6045s (2x1100 gph), a Mag7 return split 2 ways (500 gph), and a Sedra 9000 return (700 gph). That's approximately 4600 gph flow after head loss, and all the flow is higher up in my tank.

On my 135 mixed reef (72x24x20) I have one Tunze 6000 on a single controller (1850 gph) plus an Eheim 1260 return split three ways (one looped back into the sump (~400 gph back into the tank).

That's not all that much but I have less live rock than most others have in tanks of this size and the rock is arranged to allow for Gyre-type flow - think of a racetrack with the water circling around the track and the rocks in the middle infield. So I've been able to get away with less gph and powerheads.

tank size 56 gal 36x18x20.
mag 12 return.
mag 18 closed loop on a scwd
total flow around 2360.

33 Gallon LPS and SEIO 620 (or maybe 820).

YEAH BABY

2 x Koralia 3's in my 55G. Oh, and the awesome flow from both the Phosban Reactor and the Skimmer.

How 'bout them apples?

My 125 gal. SPS dominated tank has 2 x Tunze 6100 w/ single-controller, Tunze wavebox and 2 x Koralia 4. I also have SEDRA 9000 for my return.
