Your ideal flow; let's hear it

[Scubareefman]

I tend to create chaotic flow in the center of the tank. I have a ET MP40 that ramps from 1-8 on pink vs a JB WP40 running on power 7 "else" mode.
Most of the time the current in the tank is swift in spots and calmer at the bottom.

Great topic, I recently lost my cp40 which is the jeboa gyre knock off. I have notable less PE now that i have replaced it with a regular style powerhead. Hoping things just things just need to adjust to new flow. Currently running a Jeboa wp25 and pp15 in my standard 90. 25 is running 100% else, 15 is running around 60% on the W1 pulse mode. TOns of flow at top of tank, slow pulse at bottom.

SPS gurus I've spoken to (Adam @ BC, Rudy at GB) say there is no such thing as too much.

Yeah, heavy random flow is loved by acropora.

MPwhatevers on reef crest mode is great

Once you think you have enough... add a few more.

I'm a believer in more is better option as well. I currently have an mp60,wp60,wp25,and a jebao gyre in the tank and I plan on adding either two icecap 3ks or a couple maxspect 250s when I get back from vacation.

3x jebao pp4 in a 65 gallon. Also have a mj900 behind some rock work. I like to mix it up and change the setting one or more times a day. I usually only run two and alternate which one I shut down. Sometimes I have all going to make a little storm.

And I thought I had a lot by getting a mp40 and then wanting another another one prolly a 10

2 mp60 and 2 mp40 on a 4 ft 200 gallon deep dimension. Vectra return at 50% thinking about another vortech on back wall
