ot too much. It really depends on what kinds of corals you are trying to keep. Reorienting th phs may help the sand shifting.

YEah, I am setting up a 24x24 x36 89 gallon. I have 2 korilias 4s . I keep reorienting them to stop the dunes from forming on the bottom. I'll get it sooner or later.

The added flow probably just stirred up detritus in your tank..Give it time and your skimmer will take care of it.
