So, ive been running two jebao 90s on a 90 gallon tank, I cannot for the life of me get the flow to be a nice and gentle breeze, it’s either no flow or a ******* hurricane. I have my pumps aimed at the surface, I have them on both ends of my tank on the side glass, I run the left one of pulse...
I was wondering if I could use some kind of heat mat to bring my 15 Liter Pico reef to a set temp with an Inkbird temp controller. I would buy a Thermo Canister Filter but OASE is from the UK and it's like $100 delivery plus the $180 for the 100w OASE Thermo Canister. And I still think 100w...
I’ve got a 200 gallon peninsula build I’m planning to transfer my existing Reefer 350 into. The BRS videos sold me on Caribsea Ocean Direct sand as I wasn’t a super fan of my current sand and I liked the idea of hopefully bringing in the bacteria from the direct ocean sand. Unfortunately, the...
Hello ☺️
Just curious about recommendations for a small pump or wave maker for some more flow in the tank. Or if it’s even needed. I was thinking maybe an MP10 but it’s a bit out of my budget at the moment.
Thanks!
So its often said that too high a flow can be 'bad'. Yet when I've been in the ocean - at least often, the flow is far higher than anything we could ever achieve in our tanks. I'm not talking about aiming a powerhead 1 inch from a piece of coral and letting it hit it 24/7, but rather lets say...
Hi I’m wanting to know if I have enough flow for my 250 litre tank…
I have a Fluval cp4 pointed up to surface…. This one delivers 5200 lph….. I also have a sow-4 opposite side for flow acr sand bed… This one outputs 4000 lph…..
The tank is longer than it is high if dimensions are needed I can...
I currently use an AI Nero 3 for my 25 gallon peninsula AIO. I am seeing some dead spots since my scape is a cove style, and some detritus builds up there. The wavemaker also channels the flow too much and blows the sand out of a corner until it’s bare.
I’m wondering, would using a gyre...
Hey all,
I just purchased a Red Sea Max Nano, it’s a 20g AIO cube. The display is roughly 62L/16.5Gallon.
I’ve finally decided on my powerhead, and decided to go a Nero 3. From what I’ve found, most people run a Nero on a tank my size at roughly anywhere from 2%-20% capacity.
Just would like...
I am noticing detritus build up on my sand. I have nassarius snails and plenty other snails and crabs on my clean up crew. I suspect my flow pattern could use some improvement. My AI Nero 3 is set to 1100 GPH for my 25 gallon AIO. The reason I have it positioned in the middle was because it was...
I just got my waterbox frag 105.4 and I want to know if one Nero 5 is enough flow because I want to be ready, there isn't water in it yet or anything but I would really like to know if the one would be fine since it's a decently shallow tank. I already have the one Nero 5 but I will buy another...

Looking to purchase TWO gyre pumps for my 90g cube system.
Willing to trade for a CurrentUSA setup with bluetooth connect LED light bar, two 1200GPH magnetic pumps and one 600GPH magnetic pump.
OBO
They are GREAT and all work phenomenally, I just have done research and read that gyre pumps...
Maxspect Gyre XF330 dual pump kit. This includes two xf330s, one controller and one power supply. Bought this as a kit in January 2020 and used until mid-March this year. Would like to sell together as the kit since I purchased them that way.
$340 shipped for the kit
also have a...
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...
Can anyone help me solve the flow issue in my Nuvo 10 Cube, i have a Jaebo SW-2 wave maker and i can’t figure out where it should go in the tank. i originally had it placed on the left side glass but i wasn’t sure if my anemone was liking it? now i placed on the back false wall and it looks...
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

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...
