What's the recommended flow for a 120 gallon?

Recommended flow rate ca. 20 - 30 gal/hr (75 - 115 l/hr). Too much flow can grind PhosBan.

Hello Thomas, Thank you for your inquiry. This is what we recommend. We generally recommend that on average, you turn over your aquarium volume four times per hour. This means that if you have a 30 gallon tank, you need a pump and filter with flow rates of around 120 gph. so if your tank is 120 gallons then a 480 gph. This is a suggestion of course. We hope that you have found this answer helpful. Thank you, Gabriela

I just adjusted the variable flow valve till the material in the chamber just started to slightly agitate.Too much flow will break down the media and probably blow it out of the reactor and into your tank

I have 2 koralia 1650 in a 125 (72 inch length) and they are too much for the tank as a placed a partial obstruction in front to tame them down. I also have 2 850 which do not seem enough. For a 55 gallon I would stick with the 850 to 1000 range. I do like their magnetic base and wide column of water generated. I have mostly crushed coral salt tank with some aragonite sand. The sand is a problem with too much turbulence. Just one of the 1650 will transverse the whole 72 inch tank

Def not too much flow..very adjustable to suit your needsI have mine in a 20L with a hydor koralia also.I also have one in a 29 bio cube I like this wave maker a lot

It won't make water higher than 120. So < 120 is a good attempt to answer your question. If you are pre heating with solar, you prob. are limited to around that temp.

Yes it can be run on 120. I believe the connections are 2". I had to reduce mine down to 1 1/2" because of my existing connections. It seems to be a great pump. Sprinklers worked better than ever and it was a great value.

I agree that this should be fine for 30 gallons. I am using it on a tall 65 and the flow seems almost imperceptible. I should add that the advertised flow rate seems overstated once you throw in media but I haven't actually measured it.

I am running mine on a 120 Gal. tank which is also fully planted with no problem. 2 350's on a 75 Gal. would be an overkill in my opinion.

Yes, very well! I have a 55 gal and its the best thing ive ever done for my tank. Plenty, but not too much for a 40 gal

Yes I believe it's flow is too much for a 20 gallon aquarium. I have one on a 160 gal tank and it seems to be okay. They are not designed for that large of a tank but because of the amount of fish I have in it it's good.

If you are using it to run an undergravel filter I'd go with the 20-40 gallon. If you are just using it for bubbles, I'd say the 10 is fine. It is very strong and puts out a LOT of air.

I run two of them on my 120. You will also need two as they are both 48" tanks.

Yeah, it works great. You will want a bigger model that can handle more water flow for a 20 gallon. But the brand is good and worth the money.

I have a 60 gallon and from what I have seen as long as you can maintain 80psi you should be fine. Hope this helps.

The tank is only for buffering.I think the flow should be OK to do at least one 40 G tank the day.Good unit ,Water is great

I'm using the C3 with a 20 gallon tank and it's rated for 20 to 50 Gal you can use the C2 which is up to 30 gals extra filtration never hurts. There is a lever to adjust the rate of flow for the water, all the way right is lowest and left is highest.

Point the pump at the glass, not down and that should help. .. I have 2 on my 29 biocube and have no issues.. A 240 is not enough in a 20 gallon if used alone so I would at least pick up another 240 for the opposite side .. Do you have enough rock or is the flow getting obstructed down ? Mine are placed mid level in tank and again are pointed at side glass

I have a 5 hp 30 gallon, but I would say if you are going to use this regularly, a upright 80 gallon would keep up better. This uses a lot of air. For a light user, my 5hp is ok.
