Under gravel jet system question.

[SnowRider]

I'm building an underwater gravel jet system. I have an Aqueon 3000630 GPHModel 1.
How many jets can I add to my system for the 630 GPH pump and still get an effective out flow for my 75 gallon tank?

Depends on where you place the openings. I thought about that sort of setup when I used gravel for substrates, but went with a reverse-flow UG filter instead. Kept pretty much all the debris from settling in the substrate, it was picked up by the prefilters on the powerheads (1 on each plate).

Well that didn't help. Thanks anyway I guess.

Where are you wanting to direct the water flow? Will there be a hob or canister filter intake in one corner of the tank? The idea of the jets is to move debris toward a pickup or collection point rather than settling into the gravel. How much flow and from where will depend on how the tank is set up and scaped.

I'm using a Fluval 406. Also there is a huge sponge filter going on the intake of the submersible pump.
