Hi, so i've a 500L tank and i know my circulation ideally should be in between 30x - 50x times the volume. Contributing at the moment is the following:
2 x 4400 l/p/h Powerheads 8800 l/p/h
2 x Tunze Overflow boxes 3000 l/p/h
return pump 2800 l/p/h
Total 14600 l/p/h
So given the above i am just under 30x but were i'm having confusion is if i have my powerheads on an alternating timer should i be calculating my total as one powerhead less because they are not running together? i.e my total only being (14600 - 4400) 10200 l/p/h??
Thanks in advance for your help
