Hey guys

so my question is I have this JBJ 20 gallon rimless tank with a return pump of 264gph

Is that enough for a softie/LPS tank I also have one RBT anemone

right now I have a Jebao 0W-10 in there also going at 264gph with a total of 528 gph. Should I just keep the return pump and take out the wave maker ? Or keep both on .
here are a few shots of my aquascape and where I positioned the wave maker
Any info can help

Keep both, you don’t want to max out the return pump, better to have both pumps (return and wave) working in conjunctions on lower settings, you’ll extend the life of the pumps and have less noise overall.

you should be good for flow...

if you ever decide on sps, you can increase flow at that time
Can’t wait for sps lol but for the first year I wanna keep softie/LPS tank stable before moving to the big leagues
