Steve Lovelady Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 I have a 2x2x2 65 gal with a 20 gal sump. The tank has fish, live rock, soft and sps coral. I would like input on my flow in the tank. Currently I have a Hydor wave maker with two 450 koralia powerheads mounted on the back wall about 8 inches from the surface and pointing toward the front. I also have purchased 2 koralia 1500 max pumps which seem to have two much flow. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I also have a couple 800 gph constant flow in my possession Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lewisriverfisherman Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 I know that there are all those formulas out there for flow in the tank, I have always found that by looking at your corals you should be able to tell if you need more or less flow. Say looking at a hammer coral is it extending it polyps out at this flow, can i turn it up another notch? Oopps to much flow its retracting its polys turn it down you get the picture. this approach also puts you in a position to know whats going on in your tank (BECOME 1 WITH YOUR TANK) hope this helps.
