Looking for some general water flow advice here on a Waterbox Cube 10. Looking to eventually keep mainly soft corals and possibly some LPS - only some GSP in there atm. Since it’s a cube the aquascape is basically just a few chunks of live rock arranged in the center with little nooks and openings for critters to hide and get through.
Trying to find the right combo here but I keep coming back to only using the stock return pump (~150gph) as it seems to actually provide the best flow which surprises me. Best flow meaning some, not too much and still getting water/junk thru the weir and into the sump.
I’ve tried a VCA RFG on it for a period of time and a Nero 3 in addition to it on various settings and located in various spots on the back wall and/or side walls, always only a few inches from the top otherwise it’s even worse for too much power.
What are people’s thoughts on if the stock pump will provide enough flow to keep mostly softies happy? Or what are others doing in similar small cubes?
Thanks!
