powerhead gph

Are you serious? Real talk.

 

I guess you didn't see it the way I did. Humor is busted.

 

225 (gallons) x 25 = 5625gph. 25x flow is on the low end. You won't really want to keep SPS in that, but LPS and softies will do OK. You may get dead spots and cyano issues with so little flow.

 

oh, I see you've already snwered my question...

Thanks again, Raven.

 

Wait, what? I would've thought you knew I answered, seeing as you responded and all

Did you mean this for your 29g?

 

I did seriously.

 

So thats like 4 - 5 Koralias 4s.

 

4+, if you go with the 1400's. But you do need serious powerheads for a tank that size.

 

wow! thats alot of flow. Reefbruh fwiw, I have a dart on a closed loop and a barracuda driving the sump. the dart is 3600 with zero head ( it is approx 6' under my tank so i have roughly 2400), and the cuda is 4300 at zero head ( lets call mine 8 feet under the tank so thats 3333 with ~800 to the chiller and ~1000 to the skimmer. thats 1500 back to the tank) . so wide open I have 1500+2400= 3900 gph. WOW! thats a ton of water in my 180. that said, in a 150 gallon rubbermaid tub baffled out to reduce bubbles, I still get bubbles back in the tank unless I cut the tank way back. im betting im pushing 8-900 thru the tank. that still over 3000gph!

I may end up swapping the two pumps and letting the cuda eat water..... I think that dart will do the rest of my required duties.

 

Just when I thought I had it almost good, something else throws a monkey wrench in my program. Off to the store to get 4 Koralias.
