Rebiotic or other?

Can you share your MP40 settings? Curious what your max speed is really, have you noticed over the years of growth that you need to increase them or change anything?

Just found this thread, how do your acros/reef tank look like now?

I run them at max speed on reef crest, on an alternating cycle. Imagine this diagram
X <
> X

then
> X
X <

Flow wise, I would say that I've not had to make many major adjustments to placement. I have increased the output of the Mp40s but I have not had to relocate the pumps. If anything I will relocate the colony.

to clarify, in the system where I run 4 Mp40's I run them max around 70%.
In the system where I run 2 mp40s and 2 tunze 6045's I run the Mp40s at 100%

Sweet ok that makes more sense, I’ve got mp40s around the same height personally trying to figure it out. Thanks

I really like speciosa/echinatas I find their challenge to be very engaging. They’ve always been a “milestone” coral in my eyes.
