Flow Upgrade for Fluval flex 32.5

[Roatan Reef]

I fit a Magtool DC-SQ70SLIM skimmer when I replaced the stock pump with the SICCE silent 1.5.

Get 1 of these, and thank me Later...

Is it loud?

No, not that I sit right next to the tank all day though, it is in the living room. I think it is quieter than the fluval skimmer I bought first.

Looking for a flow upgrade for my Fluval flex 32.5-gallon reef tank. Right now I'm using the stock back pump and an aqua top cps 1 max flow (256 gph). What would be a good upgrade for a mixed reef? And should I have multiple powerheads in that sized tank?

Vivosun return pump 660g fits great!

How good does that skimmer work? Im.running the small eshops skimmer it seems descent but alittle under rated I think. May need to swap it out for somwthing alittle better

The DC-SQ70SLIM works well—as long as you keep the water level in the center chamber constant. I’m looking at ATOs with a small enough sensor to fit

I use the Reef Breeders ATO and I like it in the fluval. I have an older version.
