My primary tank is currently a standard 6' 150 gallon. I'm running 8850 gallons per hour of current in this thing. This setup creates so much surface agitation that I have waves that are about two inches high in some places. They hit the lids! It works great for my toothy river characins and keeps aggression to a minimum. I run a bubbler too and between all of the current and the bubbles I get a frothy whitewater effect that my riverine fish love. I want to add another 3000 or so gph to this tank before I'm done.
I'm running-
Koralia 1400s x 2 = 2800
Marineland 1200s x 3 = 3600
Aqueon 900 x 1 = 900
FX5 x 1 = 650
AC110 x 1 = 550
Magnum 350 x 1 = 350
For a total of 8850 gallons per hour.
Here's a schematic showing my current setup. As you can see, I have all of them working together to get the maximum effect.
The only thing not pictured is my Magnum 350 outlet which is behind the three Marineland 1200's.
edit- I just realized that I put 2x Aqueon 1400s. D'oh. That's supposed to be Koralia 1400s. Dang midnight shift posts! >.<
Does anyone else have a strong current going in their tank? Even if it's not overkill like mine?
