Turnover Rate Question???

[grubsnaek]

i have a 125 mixed reef. currently my turnover rate is 25.6x....i was thinking of upgrading the koralias to have a turnover rate of 31.2x....again mixed reef. softies, LPS, SPS....I dont think a turnover of 31.2 would be to much for the softies. it wouldnt be that easy to move things around since alot of corals spread and are attached to sever rocks...but would it be a good investment?

Personally I don't think you can have a salt sytem with too much flow. The koralia's have a nive flow pattern and going to bigger ones means more water moving across corals to take the food and remove wastes!

i gotcha...i know coral like flow. but some softies are not so kean. and since it would be a pain to move corals and rock. i think upgrading my koralia #3's to koralia #4's shouldnt be a problem....

here's a link to a thread on here concerning flow, if you have any further questions about it, ask lion crazz, he's a mod, and he know's his stuff quite well
