    Default Tank Flow

    I'm rethinking the flow in the tank as my corals are growing.

    Currently I have (2) 1100 Seio's in the rear corners facing each other and the return from my sump on a 1262 Ehiem.

    Tanks is a 70 gallon RR 36L,18W,23H

    I have (2) 620 Seio's I could add in the front or I could upgrade both rear pumps.

    What is the best way to go and do I need to add more flow or am I just paranoid that I don't have enough?

    I have over the last 4 months taken off the SQWD on the return and the Seio controller for the 1100's since it restricted both at the same time. I'm not having problems but I want to tackle it now if I need to.

    BTW it's a mixture of SPS and LPS.

    Kyle,

    If they are facing each other, try placing them so you have a rotating current. My tank seems to have insane flow, using a clockwise system of closed loops & 2 seios.

    3 #4 koralias in a tornado-esque fashion. My tangs love to play in the direct current, and my mandarins have small trouble, but not much.
