Corner Tanks?

[MarkJ]

I've had a reef aquarium for around 10yrs, it was a Red Sea Max, running T5's & looked awesome.
About a year ago I bit the bullet & got a bigger tank, a Trigon350. At the same time, changed to LED. My fish are fine & it looks good, appart from my corals! Nearly everything, over the year, has slowly withered away. My condy anemone (Condylactis gigantea) & some GSP are the only thing doing ok. I had a huge acan colony that now only had one head left. I have no idea if the problem is too much/little light, too much/little flow, or something else all together. Water params are the same as they always were, and still do 10% weekly water change. Anyone had any corner tank experience?

I had a 50g corner tank. I installed a back overflow, so that I could install a stand pipes for a sump. It's an awkward shape when trying to fit things in it and get the flow and lighting just right. Mine was mainly macro. I'm not using that tank any longer and I don't think I would buy that shape again.

Anyone else? The one I am setting up has a rear corner overflow. I am thinking running two
Voyager 4 Stream Pump (1600 GPH) - Sicce , up the sides pointing at the middle in the front an the two returns towards the Voyagers.

I've been wrestling with how to reset my 92 corner here for a couple months. Will be documenting the re-boot.
As a noob I had to beg, barrow & save for any of the equipment I could get my hands on. It's a little better now ;-)
Overflow; 2x 1-1/2" bulk heads opposing each other in the back corner with a internal box I made.
For flow; 1) return Mag12 through a switching device with flow accelerators on each line-loc output. Generally aimed toward the center upper third of the tank.
2) MP40, at half the depth of the tank to the front third

I plan on keeping this set up as I reboot. Maybe adding a second MP so I can turn them down but get a bit more turbulence in the tank.

The 100 I just set up used a 1.5" Durso overflow and a 3/4" return. The pump ordered is a DCT 6000 and two Tunze 6045 powerheads which BRS seemed to think was plenty of flow. We will see, I had him purchase marine gravel for substrate, but he also got a bag of black sand so I am not sure on that. I split the drain into 2-1" one to filter sock and and one free flowing.
