which to add

[MacJoe]

I have 6025 and a 6045 in my 75 gallon. I would like to add one more for more flow. I want to try some sps and i am starting to see some cyano. Thanks for any help

6045 at a minimum, what other flow do you have?

Roger,

My return is 500 gph. What if I went with a 6055? Would that be to much flow corals & fish? Would I need or want to use all three? I started out with green star, xenia, hammer , frogspawn, mushrooms, finger leather. Im slowing getting rid of all the green star, xenia. Could I keep the hammer/frog in bottom of tank, move the 6025 to the bottom of tank and keep the 6055, 6045 on top of tank? How do fish respond to more flow?

Thanks,

Most of these fish have very strong flow in the wild as anyone who has even waded in the ocean can tell you. I would at a minimum use 2 6045, the 6055's would be better as they are controllable and stronger flow.

Roger,

How about 1 6101 and take the other two out?

thanks

You could do that but the flow will be very strong near the pump so that area would be most suitable for SPS corals.
