Question

Flow for new tank.


Ok.. one last post before bed.

Some of you might know that I'm setting up a new 150 gal. I'm planning to use the Dolphin Amp Master 3000 for the circulation. With all the elbows, T's and such, the approximate flow rate for the system will be 1800 gph. Do you guys think this is too much? This is going to be mainly sps, some clams, and a little of the LPS and softies.

1800 is far from too much, especially with the potential distribution of flow via several ports. If your 150 gal were a portion of the real reef, you'd get complete volume turnover every ten seconds or less.
