I have two MP40's and two MP10's on my 72x24x21 tank. It's a mixed reef with SPS, duncans, zoas, acans,euphylia and a couple of gorgonians.

My current settings are Lagoon at 50% from midnight to 7 am. The right MP40 is the master, the left is set to anti-synch, the MP10's are on the back wall and the left is set on synch and the right on anti-synch. At 7 am everything goes to Tidal Swell at 75% for 3 hours then Nutrient Transport at 80% for 3 hours. At 1pm the right MP40 goes to Short Pulse at 85% for 2 hours and finally at 3 pm Reef Crest at 80% until midnight.

My SPS seems to do well as do the duncans. Zoas and euphyllia don't seem to do as well. Do I have enough flow, too much flow?

Water parameters : Alk 9.1, phosphate 0.01-0.02, nitrate 5, calcium 450, magnesium 1400
