Flow rate?

Meloman · 01/28/2007, 11:29 AM

Looking to add more corals into the reef. Advise on my current flow
135 Vista Corner
180 LR
other than my returns
2- Maxijet 900 in each corner.

Do I need more flow to safely handle all types of Corals?
If not, what additional or new powerhead/wavemaker should I get?

Thanks,
John

If you want to keep SPS you will need more flow. I had 4 mj900's in my 50g. If you are only keeping softies, zoos and LPS it might be enough.

2 MJ 900's isn't near enough. The minimum I would go would be 2 Seio 820's.
