Re: The perfect flow for a mixed reef tank

I like the idea of a larger "1st" tank as well but realistically that's not going to happen with most new comers. That's just a LOT of investment for a beginner. I think the 75 - 55 is more realistic.

For flow I like a 20x turn over.. this is via the return pump and power heads. I only have experience with Koralias but from my experience I do like them. The "dispersed" flow is very cool and works out great in my 90g.

Have a GREAT day

When in doubt... wait it out. This means take it slow and let the tank "develop" and don't rush it. Time is your friend
