Default whats you flow?

Hey Guys, and Gals., it would be awesome if everyone participated in this thread.

I want to know whats your disply tank size and how much GPH is flowing in your power heads combined.

I can start.

125 gallon, SPS, with 5900 gph,= 47.2 x per hour.

around 125 gallon, 4 k4's (4800), and a Mag 18 return (1800) so grand total of 6600 gph. I assume the mag losses around 600gph due to plumbing so 6000 gph (around 48 x per hour) when everything is running (around 3-4 hours a day) and 3600 gph (around 28.8 x per hour) when the wavemaker is turning 2 K4s on and the other 2 off in a 45 second rotating cycle.

In my 125gal I have around 7400 GPH. (Mag18 return, 2x Koralia 4, 1x Koralia 3 and 2x Vortech MP40W's running about 80% on Lagoon Mode) for about 60x turnover per hour.

60 gal tank
one TUNZE 6100=Flow Rate: 792-3434 GPH
two TUNZE 6550=Flow Rate: 264-1453 GPH
one 6212 = Flow Rate: 792-3434 GPH (now out of the system)
all are on TUNZE multi controller

combined max flow = 9774 or 162.9 x hr turn over, wich is nothing compare the the real ocean swell over the reef top.

My reef is SPS dominated. And my guess of 60x is on the conservative side, and I am considering adding more flow still.

220 gallon mixed tank

2x 750 gph return pumps = 1500
3x Koralia 4s (1200 gph) = 3600

Total = 5100 gph

5100 / 220 = 23 x

I will be adding a vortech pump as soon as I can find a good deal.
