158x turnover thoughts

GSMguy · #1 07/30/2007, 10:25 PM

so my 50 g BB sps tank is starting to get up there in flow... i like it

does anybody think i can hurt my sps with this flow as long as they are not losing tissue from direct flow?

Amphiprion · #2 07/30/2007, 10:26 PM

What all are you using for flow?

GSMguy · #3 07/30/2007, 10:28 PM

well as of today i have 3 moded tunze nano streams 1x6045 and 2x 6025 and a vortech.

im adding a 6055 tunze and single controller on wensday

Seems like you have it very divided, which is a good thing. I dont see why not. I had planned on another modded 6025 in the future, myself--putting me close to that (I think ~140x in a 75 with sand).

i have a small amount of sand left in the back im taking it out slowly siphoning lots of water with it so i dont nuke the tank.

it doesnt seem to be too much the sps are responding well. lots of new growth tips

Good. That is what I would expect.

All you have to do is remove the inside plastic cylinder. I used a razor knife and my dremmel. It restricts the flow and once removed, it pushes more than my 6055's. HTH

I'm in the process of reading the whole thread.

TIMMYE · #14 07/31/2007, 06:25 PM

I think you need more flow.......LOL try for 300X range.......J/K

i agree with what was stated, you have a ton of flow but it is really random. You have a pic of the tank?

GSMguy · #16 07/31/2007, 06:56 PM

cashman95 · #19 07/31/2007, 08:10 PM

I am now running 4 Nano 6045's modded with at least 500GPH return on my 75 Gallon tank......LOVE IT!!!!!!!

GOT FLOW?

What does that give me in your opinion as for as turnover? I figure the nano's are somewhere around 1200GPH modded....am I right?

70X......?

GSMguy · #20 07/31/2007, 08:22 PM

i rate my mods all around 1200 yea 1100 for the 6045 because i did less cutting

you have 70x depending on your rock structure that could be plenty.

Leopard Man · #21 07/31/2007, 11:38 PM

Congrats GSMGuy on your new flow. I see you went BB also, and no more carpet anemones. I ordered a 6055 with a single controller for my 56G, 40x18x18. I need one more don't I? Can I set the single controller on alternate mode? I want the gyre effect.

My tank has a 20G fuge with red gracilia, and main tank has a 1"SSB for now... might take it out later...

How's the vortech?

GSMguy · #22 07/31/2007, 11:45 PM

vortech is great

i think you need more than 2x 6055

since the multicontroller is so much from tunze id say just get a vortech to compliment the 6055

i dont know about the controller for 6055 yet mine gets here tommorow.

Leopard Man · #23 08/01/2007, 12:00 AM

I was a bit iffy with the vortech as some people here had probs, but you're right, a vortech is more worth it than getting a multicontroller.

Keep us posted on the single controller.

Lobster · #24 08/01/2007, 09:41 AM

I've got 7000GPH on a 30G display. You should be fine. Turnover rate is an arbitrary and mostly useless number.
