My Tank's circulation flows ......enough or not???

[machodik]

Dear all,

My DT measure : 90 cm (L) x 60 cm ( W ) x 60 cm (H)

I have : 1 MP 40
1 RW 25
1 Seio 1000

I still feel the flow is not enough to make a good circulation inside the Display tank specially for SPS , what your advise ?

I position as follow :

RW 25 - position along on the left side
MP 40 and Seio 1000 position on the right side

Here is the photo:







I want your advise on my flow because I try to avoid direct flow to my SPS but on the other hand feel the flow bouncing back seems to be too weak for all 3 pumps.

Will the flow also affect SPS browning issue? I understand that direct flow will cause SPS tissue detached . Will the below cause any direct flow issue as my SPS was positioned almost on the directly path of my MP40 or not really ?;



Please help

Cheers,


MD

Anyone?

Enough flow... probably, bad husbandry.... YES

Bad Husbandry?

[shifty51008]

you have alot of big tangs in a tank that is only 3' long, should be in a tank at least double or more in length. and the hippo has a sunken belly

you have plenty of flow though

[machodik]

So this is causing the SPS browning ?

[shifty51008]

browning is usually from lack of light, when was the last time you changed your bulbs?

also high nitrates and phosphates can cause it also. so those fish can be causeing excess nutrients

My T5 bulb should not more than 3 months and I am using 2 Kessil A360 , is this ligths is not enough ? I set my Kessil for color 69 % intensity 72% all in all tuning 10 hours and my ATI t5 running also around 10 hours too

My no3 is 0.2 (Salifert) po4 is 0.04 (Hanna)

Too big of fish. too high nutrients, .03 is where coral growth is noticeable stunted, paired with the fact that you aren't having algae blooms something is certainly wrong with your lights/nutrient levels, certainly understand that isn't the advice you want, but that is the truth.

Thanks for the advise.

Fine, it means I rule out the flow .

Now focussing on the lights and nutrients issue.

I am on a zeovit system for over two months now . My Po4 actually sometimes play between 0.00 to 0.04, so I am really confidence that nutrient should be still fine and I have a excellent BK DC 200 skimmer that skimming lots of skimmate too which I think should be also helping somehow with exporting more organic .

Yes, something is wrong in my system and I am trying to rule out each and every single part even focussing with my GAC if it is too aggressive to extracts some useful elements in my system .
