Mp40 for sps

[kamikazereefer]

My tank size is 48x24x20 100gallon

I got a middle overflow
A return pump of 1500g/hours

And I got 2 MP40wqd
They are facing each other at 6inch under water line

My question is what % should I put them
Should I put a night mode ?
What mode you guys using ?
Ill try to post a picture of my aquascape im new here
Thanks guys

I dont use an mp40 but an RW- 4 on high pulse setting so they get a lot of flow straight in the face. My sps are about 9 inch away from the power heads.

Welcome aboard!

i have mine opposing each other in 100% lagoon mode in a 90 g- do you have substrate, if so that will be a limiting factor.

thinking about adding a 3rd MP40 on the back wall at a lower percent maybe in a burst mode.

I found as my tank grows out and fills up, I need additional flow as some sps grow and block flow on others.

As much flow as the corals can handle without sloshing tank water onto the floor. :)

Ok but what mods should I use ?

Whatever your heart fancies. I like Reef Crest Mode, with Nutrient Transport Mode occasionally to stir detritus up.

I run them in anti-sync.

 

[kamikazereefer]

I run them in anti-sync.

Do you run a night mode ??
If yes what is it ?

Before I got my WXM and just running them together I used Reefcrest in anti-sync with the night drop. Now I have them still in anti-sync but running various modes throughout the day.

No night mode. Just reef crest mode in anti-sync.

 

[kamikazereefer]

Thanks a lot for your answer :-)
