Looks like you have both your Tunze 6255 pumps in the overflow side of the tank keeping the viewing end clean. How are they at moving water on the viewing side?

i will add 6-8 radion xr15

Do you have 250w or 400w bulbs in your giesemann? I bet with 400w bulbs and keeping your light hungry sps more directly under the light you wouldn't have to add any supplemental lighting. I would recommend buy/renting a par meter to see if the extra light is needed before adding any radions.

i have 3 250w radium 20k bulb running in hqi mode
i'm pretty sure i am going to add at least 8 xr15 pro for viewing and get rid of the shadow on the 2 side.
i'm going to add 2 more gyre xf350 in the middle to get some more flow.
big update incoming!

I have a feeling this tank is too rush. Too many fish going it at the same time without QTing and without a maturing the tank. Hope it is not the case that all if not most fish have been wiped out.

Well, I saw the new rocks, the filtration, and the whole setup as a new tank.
I see dumping all these fish at once into it.
If I were to do it, I would run the tank without fish to cycle the tank first.

OP please prove me wrong by showing some current status of the tank.
