Tunze 6100 (~3,000 gph) alternating with a modified Tunze 6055 (~1,800+ gph)
Eheim 1260 return (~250 gph after head loss etc).
Wavebox

So at most about 3,250 gph of "primary" flow at any one time.

120 gallon display = ~27 times turnover.

Mixed reef on a Gyre flow pattern.

33g LPS only. No sump.

Koralia 2 (600 gph)
MJ1200 (300 gph)

A couple small pumps running hob filter for carbon and PhosBan reactor which according to manufacturer's ratings adds another 300 gph to my tank, but I won't add them in because their flow is very indirect.

900 gph total = 27x turnover.

It's kinda tough to compare turnover and flow because the pumps are rated so differently especially when you compare impeller driven to propeller driven. So it's good everyone is listing the brand and model names. My MJ1200 puts out more "flow" than the Koralia 2 even though the Koralia is rated as having double the output of the MJ.

It would be tough to get two MJ1200s in my tank and not have my LPS freak out, which would only be 600 gph total going by manufacturer's rating and only 18x turnover. If I had two Koralia 2s I wouldn't get enough flow, and that would be 1200 gph total or 36x turnover.

200 gal SPS

2xTunze 6100 = 6800 gph
2xK4 = 2400 gph
1000 gph return

10,200/200 = 51x turnover per hr

Will be adding wavebox
