Small Cube Watermovement

[Haggisman14]

So what's everyone using here?

Post your Tank, and what you're using for water movement. Just your return, return plus powerheads, etc. Are you happy with what you have, or do you want to upgrade?

I'll start:

29 Gallon Oceanic BioCube
Return (Maxijet 1200) with a Random flow Generator nozzle attached to the output on some lockline
Jaebo PP-4 on pulse flow.

I'm pretty happy with the overall flow but a big part of me really wants to add a Vortech Quiet Drive MP-10. I hear they're supposed to have some really great wide broadcast flow, and I like the idea of the different type of flow patterns they offer.

Who's next!

Are you running @100%?

Are you running @100%?

Yes

 

[Haggisman14]

Had you tried other powerheads prior to the MP10's?

Had you tried other powerheads prior to the MP10's?

I had some hydors, and didnt like them. I really like the ability to increase and decrease the flow as wanted with these.

Innovative Marine Mini 40
Return: Jebao DCT 4000
Wave pump: Maxspect Gyre XF230

The Jebao gives me more than enough flow on its own and I have it directed via spin stream nozzles. I have the pump turned down to about 40% max power. The Gyre essentially eliminates the dead spots in the tank. I have never seen such broad output from a single pump before. Additionally, the low profile makes it much less noticeable than other alternatives. I have the gyre set up on a variable custom 24 hour schedule that maxes out at 30%. I used to run it higher but added a Deresa clam and the flow was too much.
