Flow ?

[saltyh2o]

I'm setting up a 36 gallon with a 20 gallon sump. If I would like to have SPS, what would you rec on the flow rate? Would two Koralia 2's in the DT do the trick? Also, my returns will be pumped from a 600 GPH pump. Thanks!

A pretty typical "rule of thumb" for an sps tank would be between 30-50 times the gallons of the tank. So for you I would say between 1,200 and 1,800 gph should be good. So with head loss on your return pump you should be right there in the middle, and you should have a good start. They really like random flow also.
