Hi everyone! relatively new here after lurking for months. Like the title says, I have a new Duncan and am curious if my flow is too much where it's currently located. it's BEAUTIFUL and I want it to grow and be healthy. so many conflicting things about low flow or medium to high flow for...
Hey guys
I’ve had the Fluval evo set up for a while now and everything is going well minus a few hair algae outbreaks which have thankfully been chomped successfully by the turbos! I want more flow in the tank because I have an apparent dead spot where food tends to settle and also the...
I am converting my 35G hex tank to salt. Each side is 11.5 inches with a 23 inch diameter. The issue I am concerned about is the powerhead, as virtually any spot on the glass would hit the rock/coral in the middle (downside of a hex :disappointed-face:) except when placed above the formations...
Hey folks -
My tank has been up and running for several months now, and I just cant seem to get the flow right. I have an innovative marine 20 with a single MP10, pics below from the front and side. The main problem I am having is that when I run the mp10 low (tidal swell, max 10%) I get a...
My Fluval EVO 13.5 AIO is reaching it's 6 month mark, with issues arising and being resolved. However this time, I have something that has began to reoccur that I'd like to ask more experienced reefers on their opinions and troubleshoot less, opposing troubleshooting once a month when the issue...
Hi there,
Long time lurker, first time poster :).
I'm looking for some flow advice for my tank. I have an AquaOne AquaReef 300 tank which is about 5 years old with Fish Only, Live Rock and about 1 inch of crushed coral sand bed. Ever since I have had the tank I have faced a constant battle...
Hi guys - stupid question but I cannot figure it out….
The circulation pump eyelet on my Red Sea max nano what is the best place or direction to have that at??
I got a clownfish he’s been doing great but boy does he poop I did a water change and vacuumed the sand but whether I did a terrible...

Hi all,
I have a tank with a single 1.5" overflow and a custom sump. I am thinking of adding the ReefMat 500 and saw that the input is only 1". My question is does anyone have an idea of how much of a reduction in flow would adding a 1.5" to 1" reducer would create?
My return pump is a...
Hi guys.
I’m moving into my first house soon and instead of trying to transfer my current tank within a day, I thought I’d just set up a brand new system and slowly bring my fish/corals over as my newer tank establishes.
My quiestion is what’s the best go to tank?
I’m looking around 1.5m...
Looking for a review of the current flow in my tank and any recommendations. I've got a 20 Gallon IM Nuvo Fusion Pro 2 with the factory 326 GPH Mighty Jet turned all the way up and an AI Nero 3 set at 2% (673 GPH) mounted on the upper third of the left side glass aimed behind the rock work. As...
I used this Octopulse 4 for only about two months. I controlled it with the Hydros Wave Engine 2. The pump works great is quite and quite powerful. The only reason I am replacing is I have an odd-shaped tank and couldn't get the flow patterns I wanted so am replacing with MP40s.
I have two Maxspect 350 gyre pumps with about a year's use on each. Regularly cleaned and in perfect working order. I have an odd-shaped tank and couldn't get the flow I wanted with them so I replaced with MP40s. I used the Hydros Wave Engine V2 to control them and have the adapter cables...
Hello, I’m looking to add a sump to my 60 gallon breeder tank. I plan on making a 40 gallon breeder sump using the Fiji cube baffle kit. I’m looking for recommendations on a return pump, skimmer, overflow box, and plumbing as well. I’m pretty sure the tank is made of tempered glass and so I have...
Im wondering if you can help me with the flow. So my IM20 came with two 130gph pumps but I want to replace them with two mighty jet 326 will that be enough flow for my tank or will I have to add a wavemaker?
Hello,
So I'm really confused aboud flow now. I've read everywhere that it's very necessary in a reef tank and it should be strong, etc etc.
Now, I decided to move everything on from my 10 gal nano and make properly equipped 30 gal.
I got Tunze nano skimmer on the right back, along with 50watt...
Hi
I've taken a video of my tank. It's a 60 litre Fluval Spec.
I did have the fluval powerhead in there but the corals weren't too happy with that. Not sure it was blowing hard enough so I switched it to the Sicce Voyager Nano (530 Gallons per hour or 2000 litres.
I don't know if it's too...
Hey guys, so I’ve had a torch for a few weeks, it has opened up way bigger than it is now but for some reason it stays retracted. My Acans seem to be fine. I also have a GSP that isn’t opening up any more either and it used to look like a nice patch of grass blowing in the wind. I believe my...
I'm starting to think about powerhead and/or gyres for my redesigned tank and looking for some opinions. My tank is 7 feet long, 3 feet deep, and 5 feet tall. Due to the nature of its design it will be difficult to move powerheads/gyres once it is full. When ran as a freshwater tank I used a...
I am looking to purchase a frag tank and was wondering what size of tank works best for flow, and lighting between a 4'x4' and a 6'x2'? It will be used for sps grow out and frags. Please let me know your experiences of what has worked and what has not. Thanks in advance
Hey guys, I’m kind of struggling with flow in my tank right now as I’m starting to see my sand get more and more dirty. Tank is fairly new so perhaps that’s why, but regardless I want to get recommendations on what’s best for my tank based off my aquascape. I have 2 reefwave 45s on opposite...
