Power Head Placement Quesiton

Okay so my current tanks are a 180 and a 55 gallon frag tank thats going to be set up Saturday(tmrw )

My 180 currently has 2xtunzes 6025 and 1xmj1200 with 2100gph sureflow mod and about 2000gph from my two returns

heres the list of ALL the power heads i have(including ones already in the 180) so my question is what power heads would you place in what tank

2xhydor k2s
2xhydor k1s
2xmj1200 with 2100gph sure flow mod
2x6025 tunezs(which i can easily mod to do the out put of a 6055)
3xmj1200s


the 55 gallon is going to have a HoB over flow and a 10 gallon fuge with probably a mag 3-5 for return


Thanks in advance

 

HMMM no one

what power heads are already in the 180 and is the 180 doing well? any cyno, dead spots etc?

55 frag tank - what are you fragging? different corals will have different needs when fragged in terms of flow - you dont want to be blasting softies / shrooms etc

so if you could list which power heads are currently spare
I for one would give it some thought and then share my opinion (There will be others hopefully)

The 180 has
2xtunzes
2x1mj1200 with mod
and return

its doing well i have some acros and extension is okay the back is kinda a dead spot


so that leaves teh following spare
3xmj1200s
2xhydor k1
2xhydor k2
1xmj1200 with sureflow mod


nothing is in the 55 as of yet, the 55 is getting set up tmrw and im going to be keeping sps and lps and zoas in the frag tank

opinions from me

if there are dead spots at the back of the 180 you have plenty of spares on the list there to sort that out


SPS and LPS can be a problem at times - the flow that SPS require (up to 50 times tank volume or higher in some cases) does or can create issues with
"where do I put my bubble coral" as these and other fleshy corals, dont like to much water movement

saying that many people do achieve it, its often lots of trial and error with regard PH and or coral positioning
