Nano Nano Boo Boo Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 Running a 32 Biocube with lots of euphyllia(frog spawn, torch, hammer). Also scattered acans, blastos, mushrooms, zoas, etc. Whats your perfect placement and equipment for flow. I’ve got a wavemaker on the return so lose a little flow there. Also upgraded return to a Cobalt 1.5. Powerhead on opposite corner of return pointed at the front. Looking for a or a more natural and semi turbulent flow. Random and more natural. Ordered a Jaebo PP-4 to try and get a more random flow pattern. What have you tried? What’s works? Help me brainstorm. Quote Link to comment

specore Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 I've got a RW-4 you can try. Will sell it real cheap if you like it Quote Link to comment
Nano Nano Boo Boo Posted July 30, 2018 Author Share Posted July 30, 2018 That’s the Jaebo programmable right? Interested for sure. Quote Link to comment
specore Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 Yep. Like I said, you are welcome to pick it up and test drive it. Quote Link to comment
Nano Nano Boo Boo Posted July 30, 2018 Author Share Posted July 30, 2018 We will make this happen for sure. I have a PP-4 on order but slowly replacing all powerheads. Seems like this programmable ones really add a more natural flow pattern. Quote Link to comment

Clown79 Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 I've used jebao- won't buy those again. Flow was good, not a wide spread and lost its power half way through the tank. Worked for 3 months before they started acting up. I love my aqamai kps. I like being able to customize my flow to my tanks needs and its fully customizable Sicce powerheads and koralia powerheads were great too. 1 Quote Link to comment

Five.five-six Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 When I had a BC29, I used a tunze 6055, controllable with APEX. It was all the flow you’ll ever need in that tank. All kinds of random and diverse too 🙂 Quote Link to comment
KW NANOREEF Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 @specore do you think a koralia 425 and koralia 240 is enough flow for SPS in a 25 lagoon Quote Link to comment
KW NANOREEF Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 If not I’ll go over and steal @Nano Nano Boo Boo‘s koralia 800 lol Even Acros?? Quote Link to comment

I want to at least try something random. Thinking yours and the PP-4 on opposite sides may be a good stop and go flow. (Last sentence sounds like a Fortnite dance...sheesh) Quote Link to comment
Zorya Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 I have a biocube 29gal (sorry not the same size - but close!) and I just got the icecap gyre 1k for it. I've got a TON of rock, probably around 45-50 lbs and a BTA and macro and I run my gyre on alternating mode 30% forward/ 40% reverse and the flow is great. Even amongst all the rocks. When I blast the rocks almost nothing comes off because there's no dead spots. I've got one side of it pointed straight out and straight down and the other side is pointed slightly up and slightly out, so the flow is not always in the same area and the return nozzle is angled toward the water surface. The nice thing too is since I'm always upgrading, I could take this gyre and put it on a bigger tank and just up the percentages and it will still work well. Oh, and it's pretty cheap. 1 Quote Link to comment

However, the way I have it mounted vertically and how the gyres are aimed, no sand budges. 🙂 Quote Link to comment

I've got the Fiji pink sand and no sandstorm for me either around 40% forward, but my blennies don't appreciate that kind of hustle 🤣. 1 Quote Link to comment
