Sorry if this has been asked to death, I did a search and wasn't 100% comfortable on my next steps after what I had found.
I have a fluval 13.5 and wanted to add a powerhead, I decided to get the Fluval cp2 as it was in stock nearby and I could upgrade to something more controllable down the line. I am curious though, is this too much flow? I am running an Eheim CompactON1000 at about 75% as the return so doing some rough math that should put me around 625 GPH or 46 cycles per hour.
Fish wise I have two clowns which seem really happy currently. Corals I have two favia, an acan (which I am trying to find a shielded spot for even without the added flow), a ricordea and getting delivered tomorrow some montipora, cyphastrea and a duncan.
I am assuming this is going to be "try it and make adjustments" but I am just curious if some folks can offer their opinions of what to look for flow wise. I think one of the areas I have for flexibility is the return pump, I could always dial that down if it's too much flow. I find it's pretty hard categorize flow visually so any tips there would be great! Thank you
