mane3215 Posted August 10, 2003 Share Posted August 10, 2003 I am in the process of setting up my 20L and was wondering if what I have is enough flow. Right now I have an aquaglobe 100 ph, an aquaclear 300 with 150 impeller (have been considering putting the 300 impeller back in), and a hob fuge with a rio 600 pump. Do I need to add more? I would prefer not put anymore ph's in the tank since I hate a cluttered look, maybe up the ph to an aquaglobe 200? Also what is the best way to place one ph? I was thinking that back corner shooting towards the opposite front corner? Other then this, the only problem I see is with the ac300 hob, even with the 150 its lnocking a rut in the sand, I am afraid of the 300 impeller =(. Oh, also I plan on keeping lots of clams and sps in this reef. Thanks. Link to comment
SLOreefer Posted August 10, 2003 Share Posted August 10, 2003 ok clams dont like too much current as sps love current...you dont have enough current for sps i wouldnt think. i turn my tank over about 25x an hour so i have a 5 gallon that has about 125 gph of pump in it....for sps i woul dup it to about 35-40x. i dont know the flowrates on your pumps but im guessing you are around 300 or so and i wouldnt think that would be enough.

mane3215 Posted August 10, 2003 Author Share Posted August 10, 2003 Yeah the aquaglobe100 is 100gph and the ac is 150 per hour. I guess if I put the 300 impeller back in the ac 300 and put an aquaglobe 200 in there, along with the refugium turning the water over with the rio600 (160gph), I should be about 670gph, I would assume that would be enough? Or I may leave the 150 impeller in the ac 300 and put a rio800 in my fuge to get the additional flow from there instead of letting my ac300 dig holes in my sand bed =). What do you think?
