Compatibility math
Turnover contribution
Example: 1,200 GPH contributes about 16x turnover on a 75g tank before placement and mode settings.
The planner adds all flow pumps together and compares the total to the reef goal.
Risk notes
- Too little flow leaves dead spots. Too much direct flow can strip tissue from LPS and irritate soft corals.
Professional fit context
- Check controllability, broadness of flow, glass thickness, GPH range, and whether two smaller pumps beat one large one.
- Sicce Voyager 1200 GPH Stream Pump fits roughly 55-120 gallon systems; confirm that range against the final display volume, sump volume, and livestock plan.
Alternatives to compare
- EcoTech VorTech MP10wQD QuietDrive Propeller Pump
1,300 GPH vs 1,200: more flow.
- Hydor Koralia 3rd Generation 1350 GPH Powerhead
1,350 GPH vs 1,200: more flow.
- Jebao SOW-4 Wave Maker
1,057 GPH vs 1,200: less flow for smaller systems.
