too much current
first of all I got two inlets one in the corner(sea swirl) and one in the middle (hard line) both pointing the same direction couldnt put any thing in the oppisite corner every thing I put there had the whipping Look in the current. So this morning I put the one that was in the middle to the opp side of the sea swirl.sure now there is not a whipping current in the one side of the tank.Seems to bee alot of current going on in the tank.180 gallon tank,approx 70 gal sump.I got a rio hyperflow running the tank.1590 GPH which I think is alot. also have two rio's in the tank behind the rocks one on each end . dont know the GPH on those be I know they are not babies.

Aaaah, its not too much. I have a Sequence Barracuda (4500 gph) on a CL with two 1" Sea Swirls and 2x3/4" returns plus I use another cuda pump for sump return...this is on a 120 gal tank.
If you have sand and its not moving then you don't have enough flow |

Never too much flow...4,000gph total turnover in our 75-gallon tank.
2-Streams, 4-MJ's, and return pump. |
