Too much flow?

[gemini aquarius(t)]

Excuse the noob question please

Looks like there is A LOT of flow in there, even though its only 35x turn over.

Im running 2 tunze 6025s on the 24x24x20 tank, and it is really hard to get the sand to not get mounded on one side or the other.

Here is a little video, Iphone quality, but you get the idea

Looks ok to me. Sand is always a tough issue. What kind of sand is it?

Caribsea reef sand. I changed it to that from a fine grain because I had no hope of keeping that down

I moved two of my pumps further down, on the glass to help alleviate that problem. That way they're blowing straight across, rather than down at the sand. It took some fine tuning to get the flow onto the corals and just lightly touching the sand but it has worked out fairly well

Thanks. I turned off one powerhead for now, and things look a lot happier

I agree doesnt really look like too much flow to me. I like your scape by the way

Thanks! I was really nervous about scaping a cube tank. I think I like the way it turned out though
