Flow or not to flow

[elmotheodd]

I recently purchased a 92 corner tank than im planning out, but still new to the hobby so im not really sure how many power heads /wave makers ill need for a tank this size.

Currently i have 1 mp10 and 1 wp25 the return pump is a rio 3000 ? I think. Will this be enough for soft corals and fish or am i going to need way more flow?

In my opinion thos corner tank do really well with a seaswirl at each end and a decent return pump with a bleed valve to generate the amount of flow you like. That said what uou have is probably finfe for softies

What are you planning on putting in it? Depends on your aquascape too.

Hense the sea swirls. No dead spots with a couple of those, and pretty much zero maintenance.

Hasn't seen those before, didn't realize that you could get one for your return and it wasn't just a pump.

Speaking of sea swirl, I have a 3/4" one laying around that I decided not to use in my tank. $80 if you want it.

+1 seaswirls are fantastic. Never realised they still made them. I think I might pick up 2.

Thanks for all the input !
Would the sea swirls creat more flow than saw mp40s or koralia pumps ? Can you have to much flow in a tank the at fish heavy ?

Seaswirls only put out as much flow as the pump you use to drive them. They are ment to turn your return line into a pho power head and frees up a second overflow hole in the tank if it is a standard RR tank.
