water movement

how many gallons of water per hour should be moved in a 55 gallon tank?

 

[wwfstyle]

For fish only you want about 10 to 15X so about 550 - 825 an hour. But reef you need between 15 to 30X depends on what kind of corals you plan on keeping. So 825 to 1650 an hour.

 

[kpatrick]

I fully agree with wwfstyle

 

[b_slate]

when you say reef, does that include live rock?

 

[sinner's girl]

nope, reef is corals and such.

 

[ramsey]

I think he means live plants?
Sinner's Girl beat me but yeah

 

[joec21]

corals are not plants.
