Hello.
Was reading some old threads here and the name "George Farmer" came up a lot. So decided to check out a few of his videos.
In one of these videos he also talks about the general rule of 10 times turnover of water. He however seems to be calculating from rated lpr on the filters, so effectively he would run closer to 5 times turnover.
I'm currently not happy with my flow setup, as I feel my turnover, using powerheads, are pretty high in order to reach across the tank:
Canister filter: effectively around 500 lpr
Skimmer: Rated 300 lpr, pretty decent flow so seems right.
2x Wavemakers 4000 lpr each.
So I have 4800 lpr in my 350 l tank.
This seems quite a lot, but in a long tank it takes alot of power to reach the other end.
I even seem to have too little flow in the center of the tank...
So how on earth are anyone keeping a decent flow far less circulation?
I'd LOVE to have a more gently flow, but really can't see how to do this
