whats you flow?

[TheMikey]

1 x Koralia 1 in the Nano (400 GPH) and a HOB Filter putting out a bit more in the 15G

27X turnover...

I have another Koralia 1 but not sure if I should put it in or not...

As to what is in there for corals;
9 SPS large colonies, 12 larger branching SPS frags, 3 types of zoa colonies, riccordia colony, Torch colony, Frogspawn colony, Xienia colony 3 GSP colonies.
So a mix of everything, and now I come to realize why i have been having to up my dosing of Calcium and DKH consistantly.
The tank again,
around 125 gallon, 4 k4's (4800), and a Mag 18 return (1800) so grand total of 6600 gph. I assume the mag losses around 600gph due to plumbing so 6000 gph (around 48 x per hour) when everything is running (around 3-4 hours a day) and 3600 gph (around 28.8 x per hour) when the wavemaker is turning 2 K4s on and the other 2 off in a 45 second rotating cycle.

Very lightly stocked softy 40g tank:
2x koralia 4 - 2400 gph
450 gph return
2850 gph

71.2 x turnover.

[Mikee]

90g
2x K4's - 2400gph
1x Vortech MP40W - 3000gph
Eheim 1262

roughly 67x

I plan on switching the 2 K4's out with another Vortech and maybe leave a small K4 in the back but didnt see any good deals on boxing day for the Vortech's sadly.

So how does one calculate the flow for a wavebox? It moves the entire volume of the tank every cycle (1-2sec.)
not counting the wavebox I have
2x return pumps @1100gph ea.=2200
K-4 =1200
k-3 x 2@850=1700
Total 5100gph in 300 gal tank = 17 times turnover + wavebox.
Don't want to increase flow much more as I think I am pushing the limit for the bubble coral, all sps are doing fine as is.

Awesome keep it going!!!
