plyle: i love the idea bud, i have a 30G SPS tank.... I first ran 2 tunze 6055's and i thought it was great bc they were both on controllers but then came to realize it was too much flow for my 24X18X17. The fish def hated me as well lol. I took one pump out and now the SPS are growing alot faster than they were with 2 6055's in my experience(which is not a lot lol) I think flow is more about position, and not amount. I always felt oh i am going to do such and such about of flow bc it is SPS but now i tend to lean more towards flow position. I have my rock work righ tin the middle of the tank and i point the return from the over flow to the left back part and the tunze 6055 to the front right side(dont know if i am making any sense lol) this way i have constant flow going around the front and rear of the tank, detritus still settles but its always in one lil corner where i can siphon it out easily

Loving the tank so far for sure looking forward to the rest!!
