flow question

[$mooth]

I have a flow question. Currently I have a bunch of sps in a 120 gallon tank and I was wondering if I have enough flow in the tank. Tank size is 6ftx18inx2 ft. I have 2 hydor 1400 gph powerheads 1 on each side and a 700 gph return pump with a 5 feet head pressure which probably comes out to be 500 gph for the return pump. I was thinking about getting 2 more 1400 gph powerhaeds. Below is the current list of sps corals

Cali tort
Joe the coral
Plum crazy
Pulchra
Bonsai
Montis
Bunch on millis
Red planet
Blue tip indo
Pearlberry
Hydrophalia
Purple tip arco

Thanks!

How do the corals look? Good polyp extension?

the corals look good but the polyp are not fully out like how they are at night. My LFS said i can add 2 more powerheads if i wanted to. just don't want to spend if i don't have to.

sell all your powerheads get 2 mp40s

I have a 120 4x2x2 with 2 Vortechs mp40 and 2 tunze 6045. I would get 2 more powerheads if I were you, but that's just my opinion. My tank is also fully loaded with sps and it also depends on your aquascape if you need more flow.

I would say you do not have enough, as a result your tank will just not be easy to maintain. It will get ditritus on the bottom. Acros will not feed well and just not do too good. You will be discouraged with your tank. Add double that flow and coral keeping will be off to a great start.
