Flow for 210 gal tank

I am moving up again and this time it's from my 120 gal to a 210 gal tank 72x24x29 and I'm curious about the flow rate for the tank. I have a Magdrive 1200gph sump pump that I split between overflows and I use 2 Koralia 4's which are 1200gph each and also 2 Koralia 2's that are 600gph each. Would this be sufficient flow for my new tank?

 

It would really depend on what you plan to keep. SPS require a lot more flow while softies require less

If you want a mixed system I would still say you need more flow.

Ralphy, you got the big tank bug. Good luck. I will help you when you get it. Michael

 

Wow that was fast! Welcome to my world of trying to figure out how to get everything up and running right. I know closed loop would be more $$$$$ for you but it seems to be the best option due to the fact you can easily turn the flow up or down unlike power heads.

Just my own thoughts.

 

Thanks Michael, I knew I could depend on you. This is going to be easier than before as I'm putting the new tank on the other wall.

 

120 gal tank, stand and canopy for sale!

Anyone in the South Florida area looking to start a system? I will be transfering everything from my 120 gal to my new 210 gal. For sale is my 2 month old 48x24x25 120 gal All Glass dual megaflow tank with overflow pipes and return pipes set up. A generic pine 36" high stand and matching canopy painted black all for the rediculous 3reef price of only $400! If interested contact Ralph at JBL390@aol.com.

 

i wish i was in florida. i would be on that like white on rice! Good luck selling it, you shouldnt have any problems.

 

Softies are the game plan, I'm not big on SPS corals.

 

yea i wish i had the extra coin to get it myself and i am in fl

 

I'm leaning towards the R & J Aquatics Extreme stand and canopy. This is nice in a medium wood color ( red oak I think ) and the price is right! Only $700 at the Barrier Reef in Boca Raton. The jury is still out as I might just get the generic pine wood and paint it black. They both have their advantages and drawbacks but both are resonable in price. The Extreme has a much nicer look with large door openings and 36" height. The canopy has 4 doors with two huge openings that I can get all the way into with a half lid. It's just very high at 15" which could pose a problem in an emergency situation but I think I can live with it. I'll keep you all posted. I'll take a picture off it next time I'm there.
