Who else runs their softie tank like an SPS tank in terms of flow and lighting? My system is a 120 peninsula display. In addition to my return pump run through a SeaSwirl I run 2 Gyre Xf250s at 70% in opposite ends. For lighting I run two Orphek compact V3s 12” above the water 80% for 1/2 the day 50% the other half. What about you?

I do high flow that's for sure. As for light? I run 6 FHO and two kessils over a 2x4 foot space.

I was running high light and high flow but recently some of my newer leathers have been playing up so I’m currently experimenting to see if they’d be happier with less light or flow or both. My older leathers are all happy just struggling with my Australian Sinularia and Australian finger although both my toadstools have now decided to keep their polyps in. Leathers eh!
