Hello,

I have a Innovative marine 30L tank the display has a little over 22gallons total tank volume is around 50 because of the sump is about three feet down from where external overflow box is.
I have the vectra s1 running constant at 85%.

I have an MP10 on the left side and it has a nem guard cover over it. On the right side i had the 250gph hydor cheap powerhead flow seemed good
had max intenstity of 28 % on the mp10.

I decided to buy another mp10 and removed the hydor.
I don't know if its me but it seems like it has to much flow even when I bring the right side down to 5% intensity. The sand isn't blowing but some of the soft corals like my gonipora that are in in the middle section on bottom of tank aren't extending like they use to same for my duncan . All other corals seem fine.
Perhaps I should buy another nem guard for the new mp10 ?

Is any one else running two mp10s on a similar sized tank and can you add a screenshot of your schedule please !!!

Did I overkill with getting a second mp10 ?
