Calling all high flow stingray owners

[M3AN ONE]

I'm in the process of setting up my 1000 gallon system an I plan on running between 9,000 and 18,000 gallon turn over rate per hour. I am curious what type of filtration you are running how many pumps what you using to Polish your water how you have your uv setup in such a high flow system and if the high flow causes issues with sand in tank as well as if filter media is adversely affected by the fast contact time opposed to a slow flow tank

I would do glass bead filters

I have a max of 8000 GPH turnover on approximately 900g system. I use 2 pumps that feed through cheap chinese foam pads for fine filtration (changed every other day) into a chamber of a little over 500 pot scrubbies, then into a chamber of 4 cubic feet of K1 prior to exiting the sump where the pumps are that are surrounded by bags of old ceramic media I had laying around).

I would definitely prefer to go with a glass bead system if I wasnt on the cheap side but so far my system is working incredibly well with the K1 compared to any . I currently only have 4 rays in that tank with discs of 10", 14" 17" and 19".

No sand but I am confident that If I had sand it would be pushed around due to the current where the water discharges into the tank.

What's a pop scrubbie

A POT scrubbie is one of those hand held sponges you use to clean the dishes with.
Their surface area is massive and allows beneficial bacteria to colonise along with the pot scrubbies, as they're often known, being dirt cheap
