![]() 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.

![]() Lobsterboy started this back in 2009......and I find the data very interesting to see the turnover rate in all of your displays. So lets update our data in this link and keep it going. I see that many people in the past that input data have increased the amount of flow in their displays....it will be interesting to see what they look like now.
1. Please give your type of tank: Mixed Reef / SPS / Softies 2. Tank Volume (display only) 3. Pumps and GPH rating 4. Turnover rate (GPH Grand Total / divided by display volume) Mixed Reef - Sofies and SPS 140 Gallon Display 2 x MP40 Vortech - 6400 gph Tunze 6055 - 1500 gph Koralia 3 - 850 gph Mag 18 return Pump - 900 gph Total 9650 / 140 = 68.9 X Turnover
