New tank, 75g + 25g water in sump, just completed cycling with only 2 clowns currently in tank. The tank came with 2 Koralia Evolution 1150 powerheads. I purchased a Varios6 return pump... have it set on level 2 right now. The Varios6 has approx 1000gph at 5ft head pressure...I figure on the 2nd setting that I'm getting about 400gph return since max 5 settings on the pump controller.
Flow rate: 36x
(1150+1150+400)/75g
Turnover rate: 4x
400gph/75g+25g
No plan for SPS corals until way down the road when I'm more confident in maintaining the system!
Should I increase the turnover rate by increasing my return pump output but lower the flow rate in the tank by getting smaller or controllable powerheads? Or just stay the course?
