water flow for my FOWLR

[ej1698]

Hey Everyone,

I"m almost done with my 125 fowlr tank and wanted to know that the flow I have will be enough.

from the sump - gen x 6000 [ 1587GPH ] - water doesn't feel powerful at all coming out of the returns in the tank but just where I want it to be in the sump {water level }

closed loop - gen x 8500 { 2249 GPH } 4 outlets pretty good pressure but a little loud [ pump]

I have a 90 gallon reef and I have alot more flow going on in there with the corals,,, I don't need as much flow with a FOWLR tank....Right.

I think for a tank that large and for as high as that water needs to be puched up you're gonna need a larger pump. I have a 210 with a similar return system and i am using a dart pump. I also have two TUNZE 6100s in the tank for added flow but now i've started adding corals so technically i'm an aggressive reef tank
