What would you guys say would be the ideal turn over rate of any tank. Reasonable stocked (80-110%). Figured more people may have the same question.
I'm not saying it is, but it could be for a given application or design. Ex: a 240g tank with a 75 gal tank as a sump holding roughly 40-45g at operateing level, it has a refugeum with lots of free floating plants or macro algae. It may not be to your benifit to try and pull 2400+ gph through that system. Infact the extra flow may be redundant or detramental to having a fuge in the first place depending on what your trying to do with it. You might be better off in the the neighborhood of 12-1400 gph flow rate. On the flip side if you have the same style system 240g/75g with absalutely nothing but a giant chamber full of scrubbies that do nothing but make NO3 then by all means, crank as much water as your over flows can handle if you want, it would probably be better that way.bitteraspects;3879057; said:where did you get these figures?
How do you figure 10x on a wet/dry is "overkill"?
