Tank turnover rate

[messiner]

i just figured im turning my tank over almost 12.5 times an hr!!!!!!
sump pump-650gph
AC 500- about 450gph
equals 1100gph on a 90 gal tank so thats 12.22 times an hr
this is mainly a poly tank and im thinking this is a bit too much current/water movement for them. im also thinking all the current is kicking up my gravel and not letting anything settle in the gravel thus making my tank cloudy........so whacha think guys??? too much flow??? im thinking about not using the AC anymore.

i turn my 90 over about the same i just diverted my flow to different areas with snap tubbing on the aga return line with the sump running why are you running the ac110? the wet dry should be more than enough

If your flow is pointed towards the gravel that might be a reason try pointing it a diff way and see if it gets better

if the poly isnt getting tumbled as if he was in a dryer id say your ok

Rig up a spray bar for the sump and you'll create more O2 exchange and lessen the current a little.
