Hey reefers look for help on flow. My tank is L60 W30 H24. Lps and softies more on lps. I have 2 mp40 what is a good setting and placement for my tank? Currently have them on the right and left side. With sort pulse mode. But I feel this is not enough flow as it’s not picking stuff off the sand

Have you tried putting them both on one side and using pulse. Might make a nice wave effect...

I like opposite each other on random so the place where those two things meet, will consistently change.

Rev them up until sand starts to roll a bit, then back off a couple.

I like as much flow as possible, without moving sand.

Should I lower the mp40 or leave them a couple inches from the top?

I run mine in the middle, but more towards the upper half is fine.

So my tank is 24” high and mine are 9” from the top.
