Default Flow for 24x24x16 sps tank

Would a single mp10 or a single tunze 6055 be enough flow or would I need to supplement it with more power heads?

Might want to add in an mp60 to be safe.

My tank is 24x24x12 and I have 2 mp10 at 70%.

Plus 2 directional bulkheads for returns. Which blast the bottom of tank to keep crap suspended.

Try to shoot for 50 to 70 times tank turnover for your SPS
So somewhere between 2000 and 2800 GPH total (my tank is only 50 times per hour, but everything is swaying well enough)

Subtract your return pump from this and see what slack is left for the props to pick up

Using a speed wave 790 for return
Bare bottom
15lbs of lr


I already have the tunze, paid 80$ for it bnib so technically I already saved my money :P

And I already had the mp10

Any extra flow I need will come from a couple of the 20 hk's I have laying around
