flow

My tank is 36" long and 18" wide my gyre xf130 is set too pulse mode each 0.1 - 0.2 seconds at 40%. Food stay suspended but its always doing a circular motion which doesn't really feel natural. Is it okay? If not what can I do to fix it.

I got the AI refugium blade which my lfs told me was a good grower this was about 3 weeks ago. My first 2 "golf ball" sizes died. So then I got 3 and this is them right now.this is me after clumping it back together which is now pretty small. Now I have read everywhere saying it might be low...

Recently I downsized from a 125 gal mixed reef to a 50 gallon LPS dominant reef. Since then, I would like to upgrade or renew my powerheads for a 50 gallon LPS dominant reef. I've had Neros (can't remember the number/version) in the past but after awhile they fail, fall off the glass, or...

I’m transforming my waterbox cube 20 into a dwarf seahorse tank. I’ve noticed, on professional builds, there’s usually a really nice thing that replaces the return jets for something calm and more natural. Is anyone aware of options for return jets and seahorses? Sites? Links?

Hey all I just mounted my Aussie gold onto my scape, can anyone help whether or not this flow looks okay for it? Just making sure it isn’t too low, it’s got a nice random swaying motion, but it’s not being whipped around like I see other torches, but I’ve heard they can tolerate either crazy...

Hello, everyone ! I have trouble keeping certain LPS corals like torch corals. My parameters are stabled and have 3 XR15’s in my 4 ft mixed tank. Now the only thing I can think of is flow. I used to run only 40% on my two Nero 5’s and now in run them to at least 75%. Sorry about the...

Newbie question here. Got this setup secondhand a few weeks ago (AIO 8 gallon) with a hygger mini wave maker. 2 clowns and a few hermits are all that are in the tank. It’s fully cycled and not stocked with anything else. Hoping to do a mainly Macroalgae/soft coral or LPS setup. Im letting the...

Hey all! I got this Aussie gold the other day, and I’ve never kept torches before. It’s currently on a plug, but I just want to check this sort of flow/polyp extension looks okay for it:) The polyps mostly wave towards the camera, but every so often move more vertically, and sometimes more...

Hello everyone, My first reef tank has been set up for a bit over two months now, and it's doing great, I already see significant coralline growth, having started from dead mined rocks. That said, I have noticed a problem, I have two Jebao ELW-20M (3000-10000 l/h, 790-2641 gph), since the...

I would like some opinions on the flow of my tank, I have a Sicce 357gph pump on max for my 20g IM. My Clowns tend to stay at the top left of my tank and my other one likes to stay at the back right near the return, they do come out and explore, the smaller one more than the big one but I'm...

Hi My first Reef Tank is running for about 6 months now, it's a 100 gallon Red Sea 525 XL tank. My first mistake was starting with a MP60 which is clearly way too big for the tank, i let it run on a very low setting (about 10%) and then a few weeks ago i bought a Nero 5 to put on the opposite...

Wanted to ger some opinion on flow for my mixed reef. Tank is 72Lx30Wx20T. 2 MP40 on each side pointed towards each other (running at 30-40%) pushed towards from of tank. Return pump is a Vectra L2 at 80% with random flow nozzles. Would you add gyres as a supplement or replace MP40s w gyres?

I’m currently considering the Coralvue Hydros system for my tanks. I would love to get a Hydros Flow Sensor for my return, but the reviews I’ve read report the sensor’s internal diameter restricts the flow by as much as 1/4” or more. I have a 1.5” return. Is it ridiculous to think I could buy a...

Just set up a waterbox 50.3 and looking for advice on Powerheads and flow. The tanks going to be a mixed reef but primarily LPS. My thoughts were either a gyre jump 2k or 330 or 2 Nero 3s. What’s y’all thoughts?

Hello everyone I am thinking about to upgrade my wb pen 25 to 3620 but I don’t really know about the equipment. At this point I am thinking about - 2 Red Sea reef leds 50 because I already have one - 2 maxspec gyres f230 - absolutely no clue about the skimmer completely clueless - eheim...

Yesterday I increased the flow in my tank by adding a Maxspect Gyre 330 as I was having issues with detritus building up on the sand and with cyanobacteria in a few low flow areas. I'm running it on a low setting (no higher than +/- 30% power) and most corals seem fine with it but today my...
