how much water flow do you have?

[harleymike]

Just curious. How much water flow do you have in your tank, including return lines from the sump and how big is the tank.
I have a total of about 3000 gph in my 125 gallon.

3500gph here

2 wp40's and a mag 18 return on a sea swirl... not sure what that works out to, but i have decent flow in my 150g tank

Wp 40 and mag 18 on my 160 my add one more power head koralia

If my pumps and powerheads ran full, I would be at 13,700 GPH in my 180G display. I run 2 x Tunze 6101s (Rated up to 3170 GPH each), 1 x Tunze 6105 (Rated up to 3434 GPH), 1 - Koralia 1400 (1400 GPH) and my HY10000 Return pump is rated for 2600 GPH. My return pump runs fully open but it also runs my reactor and you have head pressure loss from the plumbing to add into the equation. My Koralia runs full 24/7 but my Tunzes alternate. 1 fully on, 2 at 1/4 speed or 2 fully on, 1 at 1/4 speed, switching every second or two. So probably figure a good 6,000 to 8,000 GPH at any given time roughly.

90 gallon tank:

Mag 18 return that also supplies a reactor - rated 1800GPH but probably get ~900-1000GPH after head loss and flow diversion
WP-40 wavebox - rated 3400 GPH, but pulses on/off
WP-24 on other mode - rated 2100 GPH, averages maybe 12-500?
Koralia 1150 - 1150 GPH

So maybe around 6000GPH, conservatively.  May be overkill, I dunno... rips the flesh off LPS if I place them wrong (citing the open brain specifically).

2 sicce 1200 and 300 on my return. I have a 75

Wow some of you guys have hurricanes going on in there.

Wow some of you guys have hurricanes going on in there.

I had an mp40 on my 35 corner tank running at about 75%

 

[pulpfiction1]

i had to install grab rails

 

[DerekL]

Mag 12 return and also running my reactors. MP40 at 100% and a MP 10 at 75% in a 90 gallon

 

[dale]

2 koralia 1400s and a 1050 and a water blaster 1300 gph return at around 900 gph,, so... around 4700 in my 100g fowler..
2 wp 25s 1 on wave action and the other goes fast to slow n back.. no idea what the flow is..in my 65g reef

 

[unibob]

1 nano wavebox, 1 mp40 on lowest setting, GREEN mode.

 

[Duke]

90 gal , wp-40, tunze 6045, jebeo 3100gph return pump.


i run the wp-40 on wave 1 at full speed during lights on, the tunze runs 24/7 and my return runs at 70% 24/7

2 Vortech MP40's, 2 Koralia 1400's, and a Tunze Wavebox 6215. Plus my mag 18 return I have a solid 1.5 inch wave going lengthwise and the 4 power heads shoot front to back
