Best way to get flow in a Haddoni Tank

[Daniel62]

Alright, I will be setting up a used/new to me tank next week, It will be a Haddoni/clown tank only.
I have kept bta and mini nems in the past/present, but they were always on the small side and never moved. The Tank Dia are 48 l x 30 w x 20 h.
The overflow is in the middle of the back. So what would be the safest route to go as far as flow is concerned.
I have read just about every Hadonni thread on hear, but equipment is usually not gone into much, in these threads.
Thanks for your input. And if you would care to chime in about what you feel would make a great and interesting clownfish, when the time comes for this. Please feel free.

Same as providing flow to any other tank. Power heads, wave makers, closed loop, flood and dump...

Equipment is your choice to accomplish the task. If you really need specific equipment, use two MP60 units on a Reef Keeper Elite, placed low in the back corners angled up to hot the front center of the tank 4.5" below the rim.

I think Keff means Tunze streams ? vortech pumps dont change their angle, and I dont think RKE has a controller for them.

Yeah I think ment them too. 2 mp60 on a 48" tank is super overkill. Water would be spilling out everywhere. Hehe.
I would get a tunze as well. They have great directional flow. Much Better than a koralia or vortech. As for clowns, saddlebacks and skunks are great in a carpet.

Just remember that they are NOT fans of tons of flow. Toddrtrex (which i'm sure you know of) has 2 MP10's set at about 75% in a 75 gal tank IIRC. Just enough to gently ruffle the edge of the disk is all thats required for them to be happy. Well that and a deeper sand bed.
