Enough Flow?

[MitchSutherland]

I have a 125 gallon tank. Its 72 inches standard size. I love tangs, but i also want to do my part and provide as much flow as possible. I am looking at trying a gold rim achilles hyrbird. (Anyone have one? Any tips?) My flow right now is peninsula style. I have 2 korolia 750gph. 1 950gph and my return pump which is 1200gph but after head pressure being lost a couple feet i am guessing 750 as well. Is this enough? Or do i need one or two more? I am about 3000gph all coming from one side.

There are a couple of threads on here on Achilles for more info on care. Read through those. As far as your specific question, I don't think that would be nearly enough for an Achilles.

You can't have too much flow for a AT or AT hybrid. I had one I'm my 220 that has 35kgph and the tang wanted more. When I got my AT I did the TT method with 2 10g rimless tanks that when filled were closer to 8g and in the tanks I had the koralia 1150 and 1400 and the tang laughed at the flow. Bottom line I wouldn't put a AT or hybrid in a 125g. As far as flow unless the amount of flow you have is literally throwing water out of your tank, the tang could always use more. I have watched videos of people who have built surge systems on their tanks out of 5g buckets that would fill and dump at once on either end of the tank and the AT would swim to each side awaiting the surge to play in
