Updated 90 gal. Flow?????
Just letting you guys know that tank is up and running just fine ,Just 1 ? I have 2 Tunze 6025, and just recently added 2 Koralia 3's Is that to much flow ? I only have a frogspawn and some mushrooms and a start of some green star polp? I want to try and keep whatever i can in this tank. Just wanted to know if thats enough flow or too much? I had just the nanostreams in there they didnt seem to be enough. Thats why i added 2 Koralia 3's. Seems ok so far any suggetion??????????

If it looks good than I'm sure you'll be fine. Frogspawns appreciate some good water flow, but they don't need to be punished. Mushrooms don't need much flow either. Just make sure you position the powerheads in the tank so that there aren't any dead spots (like behind the rock work and places like that). The corals will let you know if they are enjoying the flow or not, and if they don't you can either move the coral, or change the flow up.

2 tunze's=2200 gal per hr
2 k3's==1600 gph so that's 3800 gph In your 90 you should have 1800 to 3600 gph for lps corals and even more for sps coral You have excellent flow--but like D to the P states you have to make sure your frogspawn and mushrooms are not getting to much direct flow by the tunze's or too much collateral flow by the k3's
