Flow

[strttndrrn]

i recently bought the wavemaker 2000 powerhead of another reefer. he told me it realy has a flow of about 1500. ive since been told on the forum that i will need another power head as this isint strong enough. its a 24 gallon tank and i understand how the flow is workeD out i that i need just over 2000 but i was thinking would the pump that came with the nano give the extra circulation or do i definatly have to buy a bigger powerheAD

The pump that comes with most Nanos are not usually very strong. Why not leave the pump for a week or so and see if it is ok? But for basic flow you should be looking at x 20

Add up the flow from your power heads you need to be aiming for 20 - 30 times all you can go on is what the manufacturers claim
