1. Tank will be SPS dominated. May be somewhat of a mixed reef.
2. 300g
3. 2xTunze 6205, 2xVorTech MP60, 1xTunze Wavebox, 2xEheim 1262 (returns)
4. With all of the pumps running at Maximum flow, the turnover is over 100X

Average turnover is probably somewhere around 60X

1) mostly sps tank
2) tank volume is around 440 ish
3.1) reeflo sapper for return(1800 ish after head lost)
3.2) reeflo hammer head for close loop(5900 gph)
3.3) 6 mp40w (19200 gph)

3.5) 2 tunze wave boxes(i think it's around 6400 gph)

Oh sure - your flow has to be 2 more than mine.

Having seen your tank, whatever you are doing seems to be working. Maybe I should add another powerhead to get my flow up to 102X?
