6000 Stream Placement in 75G

[macawdad2003]

I was having some trouble with positioning my 6000s in the 75G tank without creating a sandstorm. I decided to place them on opposing sides from opposite corners pointing straight:

You can see one is in the back right corner and one in the front left corner. This seems to work well. I am using Interval #2 with pumps going from 30-60 in the rear and 30-80 in the front.

I am wondering if the flow blowing over the rocks could be too strong for the corals when added (newb questions). I like watching the fish dance in the current . But I am on the crust of adding some more creatures and want to make sure they are happy. Sorry for the newbieness of my concerns

For most SPS and leathers and favoides type LPS you should have no problems. Euphyllias (frogspawn, torch, etc.) will need to be sheltered from the flow. Keep in mind many of these corals would have had these flow conditions in the wild but in the couple of weeks in various holding systems with far lower flow they will need to readapt. It is always a good practice to lower the flow of the pumps when adding new specimens, especially if they will be nearer the pumps.
