Circulation question

#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Can someone tell me if I should have more water circulation in mt tank or is what Ihave now enough?#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Pentagon corner tank 13"x13"x13"x22"x22"x25" tall.

that seems like some pretty good flow to me

#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#I was reading on another post and maybe I misundedrstood them but I thought they were saying that for a 55 gallon tank that the person needed more than 2 - Maxi Jet 1200's for corals.#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#

your in a corner tank so the current is going to behave different than a standard shape tank

#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#That is kind of what I was thinking. Thanks for the input.#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#

for a 45gal, I would strive for at least 25x turnover(i prefer around 40x)Reagrdless of its dimensions.That calculates to 1125gph.Remenber,this flow should be in the tank,not through the sump.(edit)I just realised you dont have a sump)All you need through the sump is around 500GPH IMO for that size tank.That is of course if you have a large sump.small sumps require even less flow.So,IMO i dont think you have enough flow

Get you a SEIOS 620 or an 820 and ditch the MJ600,the SEIO 620/820 and the MJ 1200 would be sufficient IMO.The beauty of the SEIOS is they move alot of water(620gph) but at a low velocity unlike the MJ-1200's.These types of powerheads would really serve a tank of your dimensions well

Thanks for all of your help.
