More advice....... FLOW?

Well the equipment room is figured out. Now. If you folks have any advice on flow.

the tank is different from the drawing in that the bulkheads in the overflow are paired on the left side of the overflow and the teeth in the wier continue all the way across the back.

thanks folks
 
I would use a Sequence Reeflo Barracuda on an Oceans Motions 4 or 8 way or match the flow using powerheads.
 
In a tank that size, I'd be thinking CL with a Dart or Snapper with 8 outlets on an OM 4 or 8 way, to provide adjustable flow as your reef grows. Then I place two VorTechs on the back of the tank and let them run full blast one at a time on six hour shifts overlapping one hour each cycle. Then I'd put two Tunze 6100 in the back corners and two 6000 in select locations depending upon my aquascaping.

... at least that is what I have planned for my 260 :)
 
Nah. I've got two reeflo barracudas on a 210 gallon. I assure you the fish love it!

I have a Vortech with a 6100 and a 6000 in a 120 now. Since the fish can still swim, I am adding another 6000 :)
 
I just put a Vortech on my tank the other day. Got it for my new 340. The fish do love it. The emperor swims into it, turns sideways and rides the current! :rollface:
