This is what it looks like at night:

Looks like me at a buffet!

@najer is your mixed reef also fairly low flow?

Vectra M1 on about 8 into the display, Jebao RW 15 on wave 1 slow at 7, 300 litres minus displacement in the display, it is more than draughty!

Ah, what about the grubby puddle? Or are the acros only in the DT?

 

[najer]

No sps in the puddle, 13.5 G with Eheim 600 flat out through the twin returns and a Sicce 1200 powerhead, it is too low and I have the next size up Sicce but that is too strong, the puddle needs more flow so is a bit low at the moment.

I have 2 returns putting out about 520gph total, and a little Jebao pp-8 wavemaker set at 10% aimed straight at my Oregon tort, but for the most part it’s a pretty gentle current in there

i have a lot of flow up top for my sps but my lps and softies don’t get blasted. Took me forever to get it right but I think I have juuuusssst enough lol

Flow is always a hard one to decipher, all tanks are different?

Oh for sure! I was just curious about yours, you seem to be quite the coral whisperer lol

 

[najer]

Ok fts please and flow explanation, what volume and footprint, I lose track of tank specs?

It’s a 28g JBJ AIO, but after displacement I think it’s about 26 gallons of water. Footprint is 18x22x22. It’s got 2 returns rated for 262 gph each, plus my jebao pp-8 I have centered on the back wall aimed towards the front.

first 2 pics are older, (before I added the wavemaker) I don’t usually take FTS and I’m not at home right now. Last one is from today though

 

[najer]

All looks good to me.

You have truly learned the most important thing in reefing: pellet feeding
