SPS flow evaluation

speedstar · #1 09/24/2007, 09:48 PM

Please evaluate the flow in my tank build. It will be SPS dominate. The tank is just being leak tested with fresh water right now. All the particles are from the spaflex being cut and getting trapped inside the pipe. There is a iwaki-55 on a supersquirt going to 2 eductors alternating. There is also a seq barracuda on a 4way going to 1inch open outlets. The return pump not yet on is a seq sw1000 series that goes to a supersquirt and 4 outlets near water surface.

I am considering drilling 3 more hole to add another CL at a later time and just valve em off for now. What do you all think. The video is 30megs so it might take awhile to load up. It is quicktime.

Look pretty good to me. The only question would be how it would look once you get a load of rock and coral in there.

looks good! I would drill those other hole for later use just so you aren't kicking yourself for not doing it, otherwise it looks like nice chaotic, random flow, your corals should love it!

Thanks for the input. I drained and drilled the extra holes this afternoon. New skimmer arrives this week (crosses fingers), making RO water for fill now.
