Recommended flowrate for 3 ft tank??


Recommended Posts

I am not senior. :)

But the general rule to is have a minimum return rate of about 7-10 times your tank volume.

ie, if your tank is 300l, you can opt of a minimum return of 3000l/hr

HTH. ;)

it also depends on wat ur preference of the inhabitants in ur tank are...

unless you are going for SPS, you might wanna go for a pump with abt 15 times flowrate than ur tank size. minus the over rated specs or headloss....should be sufficient.

hi all... could anyone tell me what is the best flowrate in a 3 ft tank..??

If you are serious abt this hobby, save up and go straight for a ts7 tunze stream with pulsing mode for water circulation purposes. I learn through the hard way................but now no regrets with a pulsing stream. The normal tunze stream like 6060 and 6080 will give u dead spots and accumulation of detritus at those areas. A pulsing 6100 will help keep the detritus in suspends and eventually get sweep down the overflow.

For turnover rate, go for a eheim 1262 or 1260 and run it through ur chiller back to the main tank for reliable operation. and another cheaper return pump for the addtional turnover rate, how much flow will depend on what corals you want to keep.

Hope i answer ur questions.
