Mixed Reef Turnover Rate (Too Much Flow?)

[SoAg Reefer]

Hey!

I have 2 Tunze 6015’s, Vortech MP10 run around 60%, Reef Breeders RP-M run at 50%. All in I’m around 84xs turnover on my 40 gallon system.
The tank will House Acros, LPS, Zoas.

As long as you can find calmer spots for the LPS/zoas, you should be fine. I keep the LPS in my 120 miced reef up near the rocks so that they have a sort of "wind break" as it were.

Thanks. I would say they are in moderate flow areas, bottom of rocks. Some in lower flow areas than moderate.

If it looks like your LPS are being blasted, move them someplace with less flow or move some rocks to help protect them. Give them time and they will usually adapt.

Gonna change out the RP-M for another vortech mp10 which is less gah before will be smoother synced up with the other one
