More flow or not?

justinm · Jan 10, 2018

Hi,

I was hoping for a few opinions on whether I should get some extra flow in the tank. It’s a standard 120(4’x2’x2’). Currently I have 2 MP40’s running on various programs throughout the day. The corals all seem happy and everything is growing great, a few slow growers but I’m overall happy.

I was thinking of trying Tunze out and was wondering if anyone had any opinions on adding 2 more pumps or would you let it be? I’ll attach a picture so you can see the rock scape. Kind of 2 islands and nothing is hitting the glass in the back.

Thanks I’m advance for any opinions!

Two MP40s should be plenty. Are you running them full blast or what?

All the corals are look great. Good PE, everything has flow around it, I just have a few dead spots. Here is a screenshot of what I run. From 2030 it transitions down till 0230 then back up till 0800. My other MP40 is pretty much anti-sync with its own transition too.

True, I just don’t want to fork over another $300 if it’s not worth it. I could put that somewhere else. I guess I could possibly try and dial everything back a bit as well.
