Mini Gold Cube - What Flow Rate Pump?


Recommended Posts

So my next project is nearly complete already.  I've designed a "mini gold cube".  Same general idea and layout, but each "tray" is only 11" long, and 6" wide.  About half the width of the real Gold Cube.  The underflow loop is exactly the same dimensions as the Gold Cube as well, to make calculations easier.

I've read that the Gold Cube is set to run on 1100GPH.  Since mine is half that width, I would assume that 500GPH would be fine.  Also, my trays are set at 9 degrees (just how it worked out).

Is that an appropriate flow rate?

The full size cube runs from 1100 GPH to 2000 GPH so if yours is half the width ... Then half the GPH should do fine.

Tray angle is pretty specific to the design and there is a reason for that.

You might want to try Deep V mat instead of the vortex mat as well.
