throughput is low. churning is about medium for my sized fuge I would think. Marc is right though, with not enough flow, your chaeto will turn into filter floss and get mucked up with detritus among other things.

It will really take some experimenting to get it right. What I did knowing this, was to put an gate valve on my input to the fuge. That way I can set it at whatever flow I want. I would recommend this to anyone managing flow to a secondary tank.
