Sps tanks and flow

[Reeferparty]

I'm running a Red Sea Reefer 350 LPS tank right now but am prepping for SPS.

Current parameters:
Alk 9.1-8.8 Hanna
Ca 420-400 Red Sea
Mg 1400-1500 Red Sea
Nitrates 5-10 Red Sea
Po4 .02-.08

Running ap700 at 60% 13" above water and slowly bringing up my par using PMK.

My next goal is to make sure I have adequate flow. Currently I have:

-Sicce 4.0 return rates at 951gph at max (will be upgrading to a better pump for more turn over soon)
-(2) mp40s one on each side offset high/low and front/back
-(2) mp10 on back right and left of overflow
-(1) jebao gyre cp-40 on top of left side and across from mp40 that is set high

What do you guys think? Also for those running vortex pumps do you mind sharing your settings with me please?

Thanks in advance!

Here's a picture of my rockwork for better visual.

That should be plenty of flow. I'm running 2 MP10s in a 40b and it's more than enough.

Do you mind sharing your settings or perhaps better yet sharing your apex for view only?

Thanks! It's fairly minimal but being coral hoarders that we all are, I'm already thinking about adding more surface area! Lol

I would say it's plenty of flow but do you think a single AP700 is enough for that length? I have one on my sps reefer 250 and get shadowing.

It's definitely not enough..that's why it's mounted 13" above water. Unlikely that I'd keep the ap700 for long

Nice setup!
Just wondering, how did you stick those shelf rocks in the back. Magnet or something else?
