158x turnover thoughts
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? |

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 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?

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......? |
#20
|
|||
|
|||
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. |

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? |
#22

|

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. |
#23
|
|||
|
|||
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. |

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