TOO Much Flow???
Hello All,
I have a 55G tank that I am setting up to be a reef tank. My buddy gave me a Koralia 4 and Tunze 6045. I have them each placed in a corner of the tank. Is this too much flow for my tank? I have read articles and lots of flow is good thing but I thought I would ask you all your opinion. Thank you for taking the time. |

If you have a sand bed it wont stay put. What are you planning on keeping? Its probably too much flow for anything but SPS.

I currently have 5 turbos, 1 candy cane with about 15 polyps, 80 pounds of live rock, and one other resident which I cannot remember the name of. It is small and when the guys come out it looks like grass flowing. The skelton is red. Sorry, can't remember the name. I would like to add a few mushrooms and an anome when the tank is ready for one. I do have sand and it does stay put as long as the flow isn't directly on it. I also have them hooked up to a wavemaker so there is only one on at a time. I forgot to mention that earlier. Thank you for the help.

You're good for SPS. Doesn't sound like that's the direction you're heading right now, so I'd pull one pump. Softies & most LPS aren't going to love that movement.

Even though they are on a wave maker you think I should pull one? Do you think I should just run one all of the time VS. the wavemaker?
