We did a major remodel of the house and with the demo we sold my old tank and I'm receiving a new tank (5'Lx3'Wx2'H) on Saturday and I'm starting to get into the details of the build. The tank is peninsula-style, but it will be against the wall after discussions. The tank will be primarily softies (LPS, Zoa, shrooms, et) and a couple of sticks. For flow I plan on the following:
1. Return (2 on the "left" side) from a 13k l/hr pump @70%
2. (1)Gyre on the right side running constantly at 60-70%
3. 4 powerheads spread evenly along the back wall of the tank (top right, mid-lower-right, mid-lower-left, top left)
I planned on turning the powerheads on and off at set intervals to create turbulence. Never less than 2 pumps on at a time. We typically feed between 5-7pm.
Turn on P1 0000-0600, 1200-2200 *18 hours
Turn on P2 0500-0900, 1000-2100 *16 hours
Turn on P3 0800-1400, 1700-0400 (+1d) *16 hours
Turn on P4 0600-1600, 1800-0000 *19 hours
Does this make sense given the information provided?
