I have a 60 gallon tank with 100 lbs of LR and 2 inch sandbed. I need some if on how much flow to get. I have a rio 1700 poiting towards the top to ripple the water all the way across the tank. I Have a rio 600 on the back wall to keep the water moving back there. the tank is only gonna be soft coarls and inverts. do you think this is to little flow and or what should i get for flow. Also does anybody have a pics of 60 gallon tanks with PH in the tank
 
My 60 is a softie tank as well, with one BTA for the clowns. Im moving about 1400 GPH in total in that tank. I think that anything over 1600 GPH would be a bit much for softies, and anything below 900 wouldnt be enough, unless your tailing this tank for sea horses or other slow moving creatures.

happy reefin'
 
i agree around 1200-1600 would be nice turn over. 900 gph is still 15x turn over rate. I think that would make it but not what i would use.
