Redsea Max 130D flow question.

GugsJr · Apr 10, 2019

I have a Redsea Max 130D with a Chicago Sunburst and mushrooms on the sand bed.

I currently have no powerheads and 1 return pump with a Random Flow Generator on it.

I want a little more flow for the nem. Am I better risking a wavemaker or adding a 2nd return pump since I still have a spot for one.

Not sure if it will be enough flow.

Sorry for your thread to sit so long.

We used to take out the (two) mini Red Sea return pumps and put in a bigger Maxijet. Then we would use a Y connector to split it for the two return outputs.

Sorry... I can't remember which Maxijet is, that guys were using back then.

Thank you that's a good idea. Is there a thread some where here. Tried to search but no luck.

InTank media "copied" what we were doing and made and update kit.

I'm not seeing it on their website anymore.

You might want to give them a call. They should remember.
