So I have been thinking a little more about aquarium flow as of late. I have seen a ton of discussion going on about the best power heads, water movers, return pumps, etc. and I thought we might get a good discussion going about your experience with water flow.
Personally I have enough water movers to make my tank look like a Jacuzzi if I wanted but that's not what were looking for. I began to to wonder if multiple water movers at a lower more random flow is better than a few at higher levels of flow. I hate moving/blowing sand, and I hate having to position different corals for various flow conditions.
So my first question to get this thread "flowing" is this.
Is optimal (good) water flow "high flow" or is it more "random flow?"
I think there may be more to the story so let me hear your thoughts on it.
