Flow in a 30x30x24 cube?

Borchers · 07/21/2014, 08:58 PM

So I'm looking at newer flow options. Any help from cube owners would be awesome. I'm thinking about the RW pumps but I'd love some MP40's as well.

Let me know your personal experience here guys and gals

My tank is just a little smaller then yours. I have one mp40 & one mp10

What did you go with? I just purchased a 30x30x24 as well . It's drilled for closed loop, but I was thinking of using an RW15 and an RW20 instead.

I have a 30x30x30 with 2 RW-8's. There is something left to be desired. I love the RW but they are very linear. I will be adding a Tunze 6105 on Pulse and I think it will do the trick.

What have you discovered, Borchers?

How about the smaller gyre?

I down sized but found that flow ruling corner to corner causing a votex in the center did an awesome. I ran 2 WP pumps at 50% running clockwise and 1 running counter clockwise to help fight any flow over. It worked well.
