Advise for pump

[reefraftusa]

I haave recently set-up a frag tank that is connected to my main tank 24x24x16...my question is what is the best pump to use for this size of a tank?

 

[Letsgotothezoo]

Why don't you just T-off from your pump from your main system ? That way....save some money on the pump and electricity.

Good point, but mag is a good one!

I have two hole on each side but I belive that it isn't enough current..very very low, I figuare I get a pump or two and try to give it a midieum flow

 

[the Reeffer]

ur talking about a pump for in side the tank ?? just throw in a k2 or k3 and u will have tons of flow

 

[Reefer08]

I really like the tunze nano stream powerheads. Small and powerful. If you need more flow then you can modify them. What kind of corals will be in the tank?

Koralias are too big in my opinion. But two koralia 2's would do good in a 24x24x16. Koralia 3 is too strong.

you'll use waaaay less energy if you go with in-tank circulation pumps like the koralias. If SPS frags, a couple k2s would be great IMO. If softies, you could get by with less...

 

[reefraftusa]

this frag tank is a LPS tank

 

[OCReefMadness]

If LP frag tank you won't need a lot of flow.

 

[Wes]

yeah, for LPS, you might be fine with just a decent return... would make it easier to feed, too...

with LPS. I think K2 will do.
