What size and how many of these power heads should I get for 90 gallon reef

Depends on how much current you are looking for. I have a 55 gallon (48" long) tank and if I set it to go directly across the tank it will gently bend plants on the far side and creates a substantial current the closer you get to the fan.

I don't know. You are probably better off getting 2 or 3 smaller ones and connecting with tees. The 10 gal satsified our volume needs, but does not have the pressure of the smaller ones for some reason.

I have the 36" myself on a 40 gallon reef. They are aupported by the side of the glass, so idk how they would fit on a corner tank. I would suggest something that would hang and possible more than one for a tank your size. A 36" would probably not be enough for 96 gallons. It works great in my 40, so if say you would need 2 if you went this way.

No, I think you need 2 I have a 90 gallon 48x18x24. The lights are only about 3 inches wide So you probably need 1 in the front and 1 in the back. My corals responded immediately to the lighting. I only have soft corals

I can run three 40 gallon tanks and still have more to use, do not know on nine

I only have a 29 gallon and my tank is loving the lights. My personal opinion is that it would be better to run two with a 60 gallon. Current is great though. You will love it!

I have two on a 90Gal which is 48" long, so I would go with four in your case. They are dimmable, both actinic/blue and white light separately. I got a timer that controls the actinic and white separately so that when the blue turns on, all blue on both lights go on at the same time and the timer does the same with the white. Gives you a wakeup and night time actinic, I run the actinic and the white together all day. Works great. If you use their manual dimmer, you cannot have all timed the same, close maybe, but not together.

Sorry I m not sure.. I only bought these for my quanrantined tank and used with air stone. I think with correct tubing you can use it with powerheads.

One will be plenty. I only have one in my 36 gallon and it moves more then enough water.

I have two for a 125gal. I have it split into three sections. Two for sps with lights and one for nps without lights. The short answer is it might be depending on how you set it up and what you want to grow. If you want to fill most of your tank with sps you will probably want two. I'm very happy with mine.

Stephen this meter head is not water tight and I don't really know of any that are!! I would take it that you have a salt water reef system??? I owned one for many years and this meter would not be any help to you!! As long as you use either the 50/50 bulb or 10,000k you will have good luck with your fish and coral!!!! Also your plant life will thrive very well!!I hope I was of some help to you!!Walt

I would say 3 to avoid dead spots. I had 2 on a 4 ft tank. I only used them for 2 months though before I got a 6 ft and changed to metal halide. If your interested in them I will give you a good deal. Still have original boxes. Berreybunch @ saltreef com

It all depends on what you have in your tank and how much flow you would like or need I have two of these on either side of my tank and it's a 26g nano softie/lps reef tank. If you have a fish only or a freshwater tank and just looking to had some circulation in the tank than this should be fine although if this is the only pump your adding I would suggest the next higher model up I believe it's around 420 gph? Hope this answers your question

No, I dont remember how many. It is in my opinion not enough to grow corals. Maybe soft corals. I have green star polyps in my tank. There about 15" down into the tank and they are not thriving. I pulled them from my reef tank, just to add some color. My lights in my reef tank are 3 watt with 90 degree optic lends. They are amazing! I also found them on amazon, about 2x more than these. These light are great for a fish only with or without live rock. Love the effects, but I hardly ever use them.

I would go with the 300 for that application. I have the 300 for my 60gal and it works great.

You definitely want a higher flow for a 90. I have a 75 and the Hydor 1150. Flow is good, not to low and not too high. 1150 or the next size up would be better for a 90. I was told to aim at the surface of the water to encourage CO2 exchange and not blow your sand around.

You'll need one more if you have live plants. If heavily planted, I suggest to fill all three slots, one red and two white strips or red, blue and white. If it's a fish only tank, just the single strip that comes with the package should be enough.
