Water Flow for a 30G JBJ Tank? Recommendations?

Jason31 · 02/21/2017, 06:54 PM

Hi i'm trying to dial in the water flow on my JBJ 30 and i want to know what experienced reefers would do given my situation.

I have currently 1 240g Koralia on the right side pointing towards the left side and i have the stock pumps which i believe are 275gph each with IM spin nozzles on them.

The tank has hammers, frogspawn, torches, bubbles, flowerpots, brains, anems... and a thomas the train for my son

The flow right now doesn't seem to be good for the everyone. Ive read the best is putting the powerhead on the back panel and pointing it towards the glass in front?

what would you guys do given this tank (see pics)

thanks for all the help in advance. Greatly appreciated.

Aim from one corner to another...? You'll have to adjust to see how everything responds.

thanks... i purchased a Jebao PP4, seems like a good affordable alternative to MP10s. Will see how that works
