600LT / 158G tank water flow

[christian.f]

Hello, I had doubts about my tank water flow so I posted my configuration on social networks groups and everyone told me it was too low for the size of my tank (600LT 158G Mixed LPS/SPS) .
I had in my tank 2 AI Nero V (MAX 3000 G/h - 11000 Lt/h ) and now I added 2 hydor (Constant 1850 G/h - 7000 Lt/h); they are arranged as in the photo.

I think it was enough with 2 and that now it is too much ( MED 30000 Lt/h - 7925 G/h with current Nero settings )


What do you think about it?
How should I position the pumps?
Thank You

That seems pretty good but it depends on what lps you have, you could definitely damage them with a higher amount of flow but your setup looks great for sps. Also welcome to R2R!!

By my math I've got you at ~61x turnover. Placement will be important for any LPS so that they don't get blown away - I'm guessing that the sides near the powerheads will be best for them. I run 80-100x on my SPS dominant 120 depending on where the controllers have them in their cycle so SPS should be happy!
