30g (24 x 18 x 18) tank SPS Dedicated
2 x modified Tunze Nanostreams at ~ 1200GPH each 1 x Vortech MP20 at ~2000GPH (when at max flow) 1 x return at ~ 200GPH Grand total: 4600GPH for 153 x turnover The other day I decided this was too much flow as I watched my m. digitatas grow downwards and most of my SPS do minimal branching and only encrust. So I unhooked the 2 x Tunze Nanostreams and am just running the return and MP20. Perhaps I'm delusional but I've noticed more branching and, coupled with more actinic and less white lighting, increased coralline algae growth.

Wow, I'm apparently inadequate in flow compared to you guys........
15gal breeder style ~700gph flow 47x turnover on 15 full gallons......I have 17lbs rock and 30lbs deep sand bed so probably closer to 12gal water volume, which is 58x turnover.....

K1 - 400gph F204- 180gph 580gph/15 = 39x turnover 580gph/12 = 48x turnover Somehow I thought the K1 was 480gph, and the F204 was 200gph? Anywho, more realistic numbers here now. My Fluval runs empty minus carbon so I'm sure its a little higher than 180 running empty, but who knows...
