That's Better!

I recently added a Reef Brite fixture and upgraded the flow in my 75 gallon sps tank. The coral seem more vibrant and I am noticing some color shifts in a couple acros. The R2R sign definitely compliments the tank too! Happy Reefing!

Quite a bit of flow for medium size tank but with all the full size colonies and large plating corals you probably needed multiple pumps in different spots to prevent dead zones.

Yeah, since I added more light, I added more flow. The tank is 48" long, and has a Jebao 120 gyre, Jebao 150 gyre, and a Jebao sow4 wavemaker. I may turn the flow down a little as the sand is starting to blow around. But coral are looking better. I was getting a lot of shading before from Kessils alone.

I've actually turned my flow way down the past year from where it was with terrific results but I have a mixed reef SPS dominant tank similar to your size. I only peak at 26% flow intensity during the day.
