Flow for SPS

[Reefer911]

How does this flow look for SPS? This is in a CADE 1200 Peninsula with 2 MP40s at the back running at 50%

are the powerheads both facing one way? The flow looks rather linear, the yellow stuff stays at the surface and goes from right to left. Perhaps put them at opposite ends of each other so the flow meets in the middle and creates some random patterns. And the flow can be turned up IMO, I have a mixed reed and my flow is stronger than that. I have 2 gyres in a 40 breeder both set at about 55%. If you have an airstone, it will help you more than the yellow stuff.

Yeah they’re facing the same direction. I’ve been wanting to add my gyre to the opposite end but can’t find the cable. I’ll definitely add to the flow. I will try to turn the MP40s up and put them on different schedules to shake it up a bit more.

Regarding the yellow stuff, I don’t use it. I only used it in this situation in order to create a visual to demonstrate flow. And since it made my skimmer go crazy for more than a day, I’m dumping the stuff for sure.
