Seems like you are searching for a project. Lol. Good hobby for that. Anyway you have to decide what your goal is. I am guilty if flow for flows sake. I took out three pumps and everything is fine and grows beyond well. I don't think there is any right answer you just have to experiment and see what your animals like.
Maybe! I just think my SPS polyp extension should be better, and I don't know why it isn't.... not enough flow? Too much vibration? Maybe....
Detroit's oldest large LED tank! Est'd Jan 2005, went LED June 2009. 6' wide 130g reef, Sunbrite T10 LED tubes (3xGen 3 and 1xGen 1), mostly SPS, but chalices, other LPS, and a few softies too.

I think this is great advice,I also recently did the same thing and replaced with consideration of coverage then with brute force surge.It's still early to see if it's the best solution but I'm diggin what I see !! Much better extension and the palley's are now called lil fat Ba%^ards LOLOriginally Posted by slapshot
I'm always looking for the next thing to tweak, update or or upgrade - But I think in your case, I'd fix the vibration issue first to see what impact it has before altering flow on a very successful tank.

Just an idea for you Pat, you know I hate noise so I dampened the vibration noise in my tanks by inserting a piece of clear tubing on the PVC lines before and after the pump. I can get a picture of it later if you need, but basically just a two inch piece dividing the PVC. Stops pump vibration that travels up the pipe dead.
Interesting.... a pic would help!
