mseepman's 16" starfire nano

[mseepman]

I am wondering about my circulation in this tank. I have approx. 950gph flow between the two Koralia nano's (I replaced the MJ400 in the picture) and the return pump (Quietone 3000 through an SCWD).

Does everyone think this is enough flow for a 16G SPS dominated tank?

that is like 60x turnover... I'd say that is plenty for SPS..

Ok, thanks...I look at the water column and it just doesn't seem to move like my 70G so I couldn't help but wonder.

I'm not sure if a Quietone is pressure rated or if the SCWD can handle the back pressure, but you could always try the enductor I made last year when I was bored. If you are interested, I can drop it off this weekend. It's just sitting in my workshop collecting dust.

Cheers

Hey Kevin, that would be great. I will check into whether it's pressure rated. Feel free to drop by, we'll be in and out all weekend.
