flow

My tank has been up and running for about a month. The rock has been fully cycled for almost 3 months. I’m currently in an ugly phase. My phosphate is 0.05 and my nitrates have been between 5 and 10. I have a mix of macro algae and coral. What I’m wondering is, is there anything I need to...

Hello, I have had this torch for a couple weeks now and it’s not opening, is there too much flow? Here’s a vid:

Hi Reefers, I am relatively new to the hobby and have finally got my tank in good condition. Its a Reefer 350 I bought used for $750 with fish and everything. I would take any opinions or advice you have on it. One issue I still have is sand blowing around. Do you guys have any ideas on...

Hi guys, after I read some threads it's still unclear whether I have enough flow for my acros or not. The problem is: I see no polyps extension at all, all of them are hidden (except one acro). I bought all the frags 5 days ago. Could such behaviour be related to reduced flow in my tank...

Hi, as of recent I bought a Waterbox Reef 130.4 and I’m looking into some flow options. I’m currently looking at a mp40, nero 5 and a gyre of some sort. I’ll be buying only one and will be adding another one in the future. Does anyone have any experience with one of these (or more) and would...

I have two MP10wQD’s for sale $220 each shipped or $420 for both shipped Both are in good condition. Please read descriptions below. I am the second owner just used them for a week and I want something different. Like some have said these are a little loud and that’s another reason I’m...

Hello, quick question. Is 82gph enough flow for an entire pico 3g? It would be all from the return pump. I could upgrade down the road if I need to. I plan on just keeping some Zoas and acans. Thank you in advance.

Hi all, I've had my tank for several years - mostly softies and a couple sea anemomes... and some fish. :) It's a 5'x2'x2' Up to this point I've had a fairly basic flow pattern of two Tunze's, one on each end with flow meeting in the middle. I'm considering switch to create a gyre type...

Hi, I'm in the Process of cycling my new 5x2x2 FOWLR tank its currently running on 2x Fluval Fx6 Canister Filters and a Tmc reef tide 8000 wavemaker with 40kg of dry rock. I'm thinking of getting another wavemaker as I don't think this is enough flow I just wanted to know how much more flow I...

Hello everyone! I recently set up a tank (within the past couple months) and have been trying to determine what an ideal flow rate is for my refugium section. A little background... I have a 150 gallon display tank with a 13 gallon refugium, and about 15-18 gallons of additional water in the...

Hello I’m new to corals and I have 3 torches I believe. But I don’t seem to see my torches extending how it did from when I purchased them. Please help. Should I blast the torches with flow ?

Hello everyone! I'm sorta new to the hobby, or specifically, I'm new to the part of the hobby in having a sump. I've had tanks with hang on the back equipment for years, but decided to upgrade to a 150 gallon tank with a sump. I've set up and plumbed my tank, and finally got it all aquascaped...

The two go together like PB+J. My current build uses quite a bit of soft silicone tube, and I get a lot of growth in these lines, and meaning that adjustments to the overflow and return are common. While keeping them out of light is the obvious option, and has worked quite well for some of my...

Hey folks, I’ve got a 2’x2’x4’ 125 gallon peninsula tank. I don’t have it set up as a peninsula, but I got a great deal on it so I couldn’t pass it up! I’m struggling to get flow that doesn’t leave dead spots, but also doesn’t super blast my LPS and softies! Currently using a return pump...

My mimic tang, Luxor is becoming increasingly angry. You see, he’s called under that rock his home, but the flow of the water over time keeps filling his front door in. In rage, he splashes and thrashes his body and tail around to clean it all out, but it comes back over the course of the day...

I’m currently using two Tunze 6045 powerheads (circled in red), an MP40 (running 65% reef crest during day, 65% lagoon at night), and my aquastation dc-9000 return pump for flow. You can see pretty clearly on the left side of my tank that I’ve got some low flow/dead zone going on. What’s my best...

I currently have an MP40 on each end of my 4 foot mixed reef tank. Have quite a few acro frags and am looking to get some more flow, including increased surface agitation. Considering two Tunze powerheads for the back wall of the tank. These look like good options since you can point them...

Hey folks! Fee free to skip down a ways if you want to get to my questions! so I started my reefing journey back in October 2020 with a 55 gallon peninsula tank. Fast forward a month and my husband gifted me a 130 gallon acrylic tank! Fast forward a few more months and I decided to tear down my...

I have a few favias now, and I keep them at the bottom of the tank, In relatively high flow. Is this bad for the coral? If so, how much flow do they like?

Hello:) I have a new Red Sea 425xl up and running. Been cycled for a while and already have a decent stock in the tank. Recently added 15 corals and have a question on flow. I really want this to be a mixed reef but I read so many different things about flow. I’ve seen up to x80+ In some...

I’m a newbie. Please assess my flow on these softies.

Hey everyone, can you guys give me some advice on what the ideal placement would be for my 2 mo40s? I have 2 s1 return pumps so I’m running 2k an hour through those, plus my 2 mp40s. I have one mp40 on each side pointed at each other about 3 or 4 inches under the water line. I have my mp40s set...
