Sand, rock and flow maintenance?

[DanConnor]

Yeah I have a halloween and a tuxedo. My halloween is the most active, and he comes up to the top where I hand feed him nori. :-)

The only snails that eat GHA are mexican turbos, ime.

Would prefer not to get an urchin because of the bulldozer effect.

Do you guys think my flow is sufficient?

What are everyone's thoughts in regards to blowing off rocks?

I dust the rocks pretty much constantly. I dint really think flow is too big a deal on algae growth, but i do like decent turbulence to keep stuff in suspension or it just sinks to the sand and on the rocks. if you blow off the rocks watch the "dust swirl". Imo the 5x and lower som many reccomend leaves a LOT in the tank. Im closer to 10x return.

I'm already at about 1200gph on the return
