Need advice with lighting and flow

[freddielake]

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE. I HAVE BEEN MESSING WITH MY 36 GALLON BOW FRONT FOR SOME TIME NOW WITH MY LIGHTING AND FLOW. I HAVE NOT FOUND A SWEET SPOT SO I'M REACHING OUT FOR ADVICE. 15"L x 30"W x 23.75"H ARE THE DIMENSIONS OF MY TANK. I HAVE A GEN 2 RADION XR 30 ON TOP WITH THE MOUNT BUT ITS MORE OFF TO THE RIGHT SIDE DUE TO THE SUPPORT RUNNING THROUGH THE MIDDLE. I HAVE 2 MP10 TOWARDS THE TOP AND OFFSET. I WILL POST PICS AND SCHEDULE. PLEASE LET ME KNOW HOW YOU WOULD PROGRAM THE LIGHT AND POWER HEADS. I WILL ALSO ATTACH A PIC OF MY ROCKWORK. I HAVE 4 BTAS IN THE TANK, 1 HAMMER , 1 CANDY CANE (ON THE BOTTOM). I FEEL LIKE ALL THE FLOW IS AT THE TOP OF THE TANK AND NONE ON THE BOTTOM TO MOVE THE JUNK AROUND. THANKS FOR ALL THE HELP!

The MP10s should be fine for that tank - I like mine in long pulse mode/alternating.

How are you judging this "Sweet spot"?
Frequent changes to lighting and flow are not something corals will be happy about..

Flow is rather difficult to see in a tank.. On such a small tank I find it hard to believe that having 2 x MP10 on any mode is a problem/lacking flow anywhere..

yeah thats what I would figure as well. There is way to much standing settlement at the bottom to have flow down there.

And you don't just move one of the powerheads down lower because......?

Um.. nonsense...
It had some effect...just may not have been enough to achieve your perfect result..
Gravity will always win in the end..
