Hi, guys I have a really quick question about my flow in my 10 gallon tank.
Can I put a 425 gph hydor pump and the smallest rio pump in my 10 gallon reef tank??
I have sps, softies, zoas and lps!.
And for fish I have purple fire fish, false percula clown, picasso platinum clown and a yellow clown goby.
Inverts I have a cleaner shrimp, peppermint shrimp, hermit crabs, snails and a sea slug.
If it's to much flow is my coral or fish gonna die??
 
Those pumps should be ok. Just watch not to place direct flow on your softies and LPS. Softies will come un-attached and the skin of the LPS can tear from the skeleton. I believe you need allot of flow in a mixed reef.
