Hello Everyone,
I have a 50 gallon reef (36x18x18") and I currently am running 3 powerheads for water flow (not including the flow from my AquaClear 70 HOb filter and protein skimmer). I am trying out a wet/dry filter but I belive the water flow is possibly to strong for the tank. The pump is a Rio 1700 which was reccommended for the wet/dry, but can to much flow cause the soft corals and fish to stress out? I will try and put a control fitting on the pump to see if I can regulate the flow down some, but that might effect the pump itself.
Just looking for some info as to water flow.
Thanks,
