Each day I am getting a step closer to having my 240 back up and running. This will be SPS dominant and as such high flow. Two Reeflo Barracudas, one as the return the other on a closed loop with an OM 4 way. Not sure about circulation pumps as I am looking at about 14,000 gph accounting for head pressure. So what's on the bottom of your high flow tank? The system will have a 120 remote DSB as well as a sump that holds 75g and a 65g frag tank.
Been thinking about a thin layer of CaribSea Super Reef Floor. Its a chunky substrate with shells and 1-4mm size pieces of sand/crushed coral.
