Flow split too much?

I just got my 40B finished cycling. I have a total of 1330gph going through it. I think i might have split it up too much though. There are 7 outlets between the return and CLS. ~203gph out of each of the 3 return nozels and 180 out of each of the 4 CLS nozels.

Am i right in thinking that i have enough flow for SPS, but that it is just split up too much?

Thanks

Well, you want as many outlets as you can have to increase the turbulent flow, and you have done that.....but as you add more outlets, hence piping, you loose more of your flow to friction.......I suppose if you have enough velocity at the exits is the real question......if not, you can always get a bigger pump.......but you have an acceptable amount of turnover, 33x. Give it a whirl, if the polyps dance, your cool......but I would imagine that eventually you will get a bigger pump to bump it up....
