Hi everyone,

Lately I’m wondering if I have enough flow...

150 gallon 5’x2’x2’

Pretty open rockwork.

I have 3 MP40’s 2 up high, one on each side and one in the back right down low to keep detritus our from the backwall and rocks.

I have the left high and right low set to reefcrest with the right high one on antisync so it’s opposite. They range from 30-80% at any give time.

I also have a cor20 with a return on each side of the tank. I have flow meters on each return and get 380 gph and 350 gph for a total of 730 gph extra.

I’ll attach a picture so you can see. Do you think this is enough flow? Don’t think I have any dead spots, I see my torch and frogspawn which are in between the 2 islands tentacles blowing all over, but don’t see the polyps on sps moving too much.

Thoughts? Add another MP40? Or should i be good?

I would say start with some sps and then see how it works. 3 MP40 should get you going, but you could use another MP40 or icecap for sure.
