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.

When the sand starts to lift into the water column... or the tips of my SPS start to burn.

20g DT
150 gph return (Eheim 1250)
500 - 2000 gph Vortech MP-20
650 - 2150 gph = 33 ~ 108x Turnover
