Circulation for my tank


Recommended Posts

  • SRC Member

Good morning,

The image below depicts the top view of my tank 3ft * 2.6ft * 3ft tank. The two white circles is actually holes for the piping ..

Do you think its sufficient to maintain good circulation in the tank?

or let say that i have to stick with these setup, how is it possible to increase the circulation at low cost?

wat kind of piping will u be using? size? i suggest that for the overflow, use at least 1.25inches, the bigger the better so that it will be sufficient no matter how strong your return pump is...

for a 3ft tall tank, i believe u might need at least 400W MH to be able to blast thru the water and reach the bottom of the tank...i suggest that u use a shorter tank, at such height it will be very dificult to place corals on the sand bed and it is not cost effective, 400W MH will be very very hot and u will need a strong chiller...
