Enough flow?

[binaryterror]

I am going tm my LFS tomorrow to buy some new SPS corals. Now, I just added 2 Seio 620's, in each corner, and both are angeled towards the glass/rocks. Now, will this be enough flow for SPS? I dont have many rocks to get in the way (only 40lbs.) Thanks!

I think the question is what size tank do you have??

 

[binaryterror]

Haha. OMG I am so sorry. It is a 55g.

 

[dvanacker]

SO two 620's are you only flow......thats a start. But eventually you will probably want more.

 

[binaryterror]

But it is OK for now? I also have my 500gph return pump to include in there also.

I agree with dvanacker on the flow. The more the better. Just make sure it isnt direct flow to the coral. IMO I wouldn't use your return volume to calculate your flow for an SPS dominated tank. This is just "refreshing" your system's water.

i would go with 1100's for a 55. i know someone who has a 620 on a 10g.
