What Water Flow does

Plan and tune water movement: powerheads, wavemakers, return flow, gyres. Includes equipment tracking and flow-related advice.

  • Track flow equipment (powerheads, wavemakers, gyres, return pumps): Tank > Tools > Equipment > Add Equipment.
  • Stocking-density vs flow: see the Stability Trak rail and care notes per coral.
  • Adjust flow patterns to match your livestock — SPS like high random flow, LPS like gentler.
  • Reactor / media flow rates: see individual product details under Tank > Maintenance > Dosing > Products.
