Enough Flow?

[Joe_Shafe]

I'll be setting up a 75 gallon tank. Will the Eheim 2217, Marineland C-220, and Hydor Koralia 240 nano circulation pump be enough flow in my tank?

To save searching around do you have the flow rate of your products? If so then if it totals around 10 x full tank turnover per hour then you'll be fine, just make sure the equipment all compliments the flow from all other equipment.

I agree, 750gph should be your target turnover. If you can do this with one canister filter it would be best imo.

Edit: return on one end and intake at the other for good through tank flow.

Both at the same end is by far better, sorry but its true as the flow circulates the entire tank then, along top, down the end of the tank to the substrate and drawn back to the intake. Look at any aquascapes that have left filter pipes in for the photo mate or go to a Takashi Amano vid on youtube.

If you have a short tank sure. In a longer tank one side would be dead. This is what I mean.

check the long Amano tanks mate, still works if you got a good filter.
