Flow Question

[Masgatigata]

Hi Everyone,

I have a 55 gallon sps dominant tank. I finally got my lighting down (I think) and now Im messing withe the flow. I have one jebao wp 25 on one end towards that top pointed at the middle back tank. Do you think this is enough flow? I have a hydor rated for 750 laying around but when I add it, it almost seems like too much flow. Should I add the hydor or is the one jebao enough?

You could add a couple of 10's or another 25. What type of flow is going through the tank now

Currently I have the Jebao 25 and the return pump. That's about it for flow in the tank.

With and SPS dominate tank, there is no such thing as to much flow, the more the merrier.

Totally agree more flow the sps guys will love it.

I will third that. No such thing as too much flow (with a few exceptions).

For example, I have three hydor evos in my 30G frag tank. A 1400 set on constant and two 1100's set opposite on a wave timer. 2500GPH or an 83x turnover, not including the return pump.

I feel like this is true, however, one of my millis looked like the skin was going to blow right off of it. Maybe it's my placement of pumps? Does anyone have a good diagram or anything I can use as a reference?
