Flow in 300G peninsula

[jonjonwells]

OK guys... I need a check on my flow for my upgrade. I need advice, pointers, oversights... whatever.

This is going to be in my 300G display. It measures 78x30x36.

This will use several forms of flow.
First will be the closed loop. I am going to use a ReefFlo barracuda going through a Oceans Motions 4-way. Each output will be T'd in the tank and will alternate 1&3 to 2&4. The whole CL system will also be on a VFD (variable flow device) ramping the flow from 100%-40% according to my programming.

The second will be a pair of Tunze 6125's. These will be mounted towards the top of the tank and will rotate 180 degrees on a slow movement. This will be accomplished by the new SeaSwirl pump oscillators.

Third will be my pair of MP 40s. These will be mounted on the back of the tank and will be linked to the Apex supplying a variety of flow.

The return will be minimal due to the high head loss from the basement. Probably a 1000GPH or so.

Anywho... let me know what you think.. sorry for the long ramble.

Sounds like a ton of flow. On your returns going into the tank via locline you can add flow acceleratos. You can buy them online for $18 each and they do make a big difference. They are not an exact fit for locline since locline has a patent, but if you lightly sand the end of the locline it will fit perfect. I did the and superglued between them and it is perfect. Good luck with the build.

im interested in the swirl oscillators and how they work and attach to whatever as well as the ramping up of the CL pump
