whats you flow?

[lobsterboy]

Hey Guys, and Gals., it would be awesome if everyone participated in this thread.

I want to know whats your disply tank size and how much GPH is flowing in your power heads combined.

I can start.

125 gallon, SPS, with 5900 gph,= 47.2 x per hour.

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.

In my 125gal I have around 7400 GPH. (Mag18 return, 2x Koralia 4, 1x Koralia 3 and 2x Vortech MP40W's running about 80% on Lagoon Mode) for about 60x turnover per hour.

SPS Main Display 130gal with a super rough guess at 9340GPH = 72x TO

60 gal tank
one TUNZE 6100=Flow Rate: 792-3434 GPH
two TUNZE 6550=Flow Rate: 264-1453 GPH
one 6212 = Flow Rate: 792-3434 GPH (now out of the system)
all are on TUNZE multi controller

combined max flow = 9774 or 162.9 x hr turn over, wich is nothing compare the the real ocean swell over the reef top.

Great feed back everyone, also lets add if its, a softy, SPS, or mixed tank.

crazy flow, 162 times, WOW

My reef is SPS dominated. And my guess of 60x is on the conservative side, and I am considering adding more flow still.

220 gallon mixed tank

2x 750 gph return pumps = 1500
3x Koralia 4s (1200 gph) = 3600

Total = 5100 gph

5100 / 220 = 23 x

I will be adding a vortech pump as soon as I can find a good deal.

90 Gallon:
1 ea K4 - 1200 gph
2 ea Maxi-Mod 2000 GPH ea approx
3200 GPH Total

265 Gallon:
3 Darts 3600 GPH ea
10,800 GPH minus head loss

[JDigital]

75 Gallon, Mixed Reef
1200 Return + 2100 CL = 3300gph
44x turnover..
