Turnover rate question

[Murica]

I'm sick of detritus lingering in my display, so I was wondering if I jack up the turnover rate to 10-20 times. My gyres will pulse to keep the erratic flow. Any downside to this? Heck, I could go up a lot more too. Mixed reef.

Turnover within the tank can go as high as 50-100x tank volume depending on the situation. Cranking up the Gyre a bit seems like a solid idea to keep detritus from settling

Only thing with the gyre is that it blows the detritus around... To another side of the tank so the detritus never actually leaves. When it's cranked it also focuses flow in one area, sort of linear. My hope was to get 2, two inch wide overflows and three or four large return pumps on one inch returns. Returns would face either to the sides, straight ahead or straight down to create an even flow while the gyres disturb it. I just want to make sure that won't be too fast.

Shouldn't be, but it depends on the tanks inhabitants. LPS corals might not like such high flow, but SPS would love it.
Just make sure you make the flow a happy medium between wants and needs.

I just checked out the random flow generator, looks interesting. Wonder how well this actually works but could be a solution to my problem in regards to jacking up flow without pulverizing a certain area.
