yea i never thought about that. i was thinking turnover instead of flow. i wasn't thinking of them as two seperate things. but i get what you guys are saying.

what i was thinking exactly was. having 2 return lines from the one pump. and then splitting those lines inside the tank. so basically having 4 returns on a 3000gph pump. which would be like 750gph in 4 directions. which would be like having 4 powerheads inside the tank.

would that be a good thing? or is that how you guys do yours?
cuz i would like to cut back on the powerheads and have no power heads at all if possible. i mean i can split the lines and use locklines to direct the flow and change the direction every now and again when needed. tell me what you think.

and i'm looking right now into the manifolds...

gwen i've decided that FOWLR won't be enough for me and i want to take the dive straight into reefing. starting with a few hardy corals of course. i like sps and i like lps. i still have to study up on species naming and the requirements. but i was thinking over a year of getting a few corals and then learning more on the way to keep what i want and actually deciding to go sps or lps or both (if that's possible).
