i have had lps and softies for 5 years and am looking to venture into sps. my sps only tank is a 40 breeder with 6 t5s with independent reflectors powered by fulham ballasts. i also have a 175 or 250 mh with 36" t12vho, but am choosing t5 for electrical savings. i have a mag 5 for return, 3 maxi jet 1200s on a wave master pro. i have a 29 gal sump with a euro reef 135 and chaeto. i will be running a shallow bed of sand, about 40ish lbs of rock and im getting some flow numbers of 350ish for return and about 800ish for internal flow. so that is roughly 1150/40=28.75 turnover. is that acceptable for sps? or would adding a 4 mj1200 be best.
please remember i am new to sps and have been reading everynight on here. i could just use the opinions for some help.
so what does the majority of ppl think would be best sps for me to begin with. :wavehand:
