265 SPS Reef and Two 6105 Enough Flow

[mattiej]

As the title says, I am currently running two 6105 and two 6045 on a 265 sps reef. I am considering adding two 6055 to move water from back of tank and perpendicular to the 6105. Would the additional 6055 pumps be necessary with the pumps already in the tank?

You might try the 24V jumpers for your 6105's first, I will send them free if you shoot me a PM with your info, this will give almost the same flow boost as adding the 6055's. I think what you have is enough but so much depends on programming, placement and involved obstacles. For example a dense rock structure or big grown in SPS heads will limit the available flow.

Thanks Roger. Right now I am still working on which flow pattern works best. I am presently trying the interval with the two pumps at a max of about 80%. I can defintely see good flow throughout the tank but the corals are all smal at present. Thanks for the jumper offer, PM forthcoming.
