1. Mixed Reef
2. 20 Gal Display
3. Mag 7 Return pump with 4' of head loss and ocean motion squirt ~450GPH
4. Turnover rate-- 22.5

Im looking at upping flow after reading this. I like the flow im getting with the motion over what sps I have but I have been thinking that something down low, like maybe an mp10 would move the lower water column very well.

Let keep this going. Anyone else have data to add?? Here's what we are looking for:

1. Please give your type of tank: Mixed Reef / SPS / Softies
2. Tank Volume (display only)
3. Pumps and GPH rating (for return after head loss, if you can)
4. Turnover rate (GPH Grand Total / divided by display volume)


Thanks

71G custom cube, barebottom SPS dominated.

1X Red Dragon 8.2 @ 2165G gph @ 60% = 1732 gph
2X MP40Wes @ 3200 gph each @ 80% = 2560 gph each

Total gph = 6852 gph

Total Turnover = 6852/71 = 96.5x Turnover

interestingly enough, if you take the average of everyone's response it does appear to hover around the 40-50x mark
