![]() I am now at appox. 9500 gph plus the wavebox (not sure how to figure out that water movement).... Running 2 tunze 6105's @ 3434gph each and a dart return at approx 2600 gph. So I guess somewhere around 63 X turnover.

![]() Cool. Was curious about other peoples flows and found this thread.
150g 2x tunze 6105 (3434 gph each at full blast) 1x Mag18 return (1300gph; accounting for head loss) -------- total: 8168 gph ( / 150g ) = ~54x at night I like to throttle the tunze down to 50% to give the fish a more peaceful rest. Last edited by kien; 10-26-2009 at 09:59 PM. |

![]() Never did post up for my 30G cube..
MP20 = 2000GPH Return = 500GPH 2500 / 30G = 83x TO... Got my 105G coming this week though and this is my plan for that: MP20 x 2 = 4000gph Koralia 3 = 850gph Tunze 6045 = 1200gph Return = 500gph 6550 / 93.5G (act. water volume in DT) = 70x TO If the sand stays put with that setup, I might add a 2nd K3 or 6045... ![]()

![]() ^^ Not really.. water stays in the tank, that's all that matters to me.. That's on a braceless/trimless tank as well. Its also 98% SPS too... thought about adding another K1 or K2, but no point now that my new tank is coming.
