What do you use for flow?

[danny zubot]

Tell me about what you use for flow and don't forget to tell me what size/shape you tank is.

[christyf5]

standard 90 gallon tank, overflow box in left hand back corner. Wavebox next to overflow box, water travels left to right in tank. 2 Tunze 6060s in back right corner of tank one (lower) travels right to left towards overflow box position, the other (upper) travels diagonally across tank to wavebox position.

standard 120g w/dual overflows. 1 tunze 6080 on each side controlled by an acjr. 60 min on/60 off with 20 min overlap for good chaotic flow.

120gal (48x24x24) w/corner overflow, 2x6100 stream w/controller and a tunze wavebox. I am thinking about adding another stream in the future when the corals get more dense.

I'm still in the process of setting up my tank....

40G (36x18x16) back left external overflow with a front left return.

Will have a vortech under the return most likely.

I have a 50 gal with 2 seio M1100 and a OM sea squirt with a poseidon PS3
pump as a closed loop.

36" x14"x24" 60Gal tank.
WaveBox+ 6100 Tunze and will have tunze nano 6055 when they are avaliable on the multy controller.
6100 is going at 100% behind the rocks and blowing all debris out to the front and up, so skimmer picks it up nicely.
my ORP got abot 150 points up after i removed sand bed and moved 6100 to the bottom back corner.
I have one incrusting SPS about 12" away from the 6100 (@ 100%= 3100 gal /hr)
and it loves it !
I am ulternating 6100Tunze with the wave box every 15 minutes.
i like this set up a lot and white moon light that comes with it also great because it gives real moon cycle and gliters at night.

Jeez - I am going to have to break this down a bit

230g with 2 tunze 6100 on a controller with a closed loop run by a mag 9. Dual overflow and standard return from a 77g sump/fuge

190g with back overflow 2 Tunze 6100's on a controller. Closed loop run by a Sequence Hammerhead through an Ocean Motions 4 way - then split for 8 returns. Standard 90g sump/fuge with return a Quiet one 4000 (I think)

110g cube with a 40g sump. Not sure what the return pump is but it is external. Closed loop split 4 ways and again I can't remember what the pump is. Also a Tunze 6000.

20g nano with a maxi jet 900 and a tunze nano stream - I think it is the 6025.

12g nano with a maxi jet 900

10g nano with a maxi jet 900

Whew I'm going to my support group now.............

[trilinearmipmap]

120 gallon with nothing for flow besides the Mag 12 return split into two return pipes. It is a mixed tank softies/LPS/anemones/sps.

I had a 6060 stream, it was too much flow, it blew my colt right over.

I had a Seio but stopped using it.

I would get some decent flow devices (? Korallia) except my four RBTA's would probably commit suicide.

145g (70x20x24H) mixed reef, 75g basement sump.

CL is Dart (3600gph) with OM 4-way (2" inlet/4-1" returns). Sump return is Iwaki 70RLT (with head getting ~1000gph) through single 1". Sump is fed by 2-2" drains with overflows on each side.
