how much flow

[trigger05]

I need to know if i have enough flow in my tank
I have a:
fluval 104 -125 gph
rio 600 ph-200gph
protein skimmer pump (rio 600)-200gph

all on a 25 gallon 36"x10"x16"
thats a total of 525 gph
for a total turnover rate of 21x per hour

I think i can have more flow, none of my corals flow with the current and i have some algae problems on my sand bed
maybe the dimensions of my tank dont spread the flow evenly??

do i have enough flow?

My calculations have you at 13X turnover cause you don't include the skimmer pump. What kinds of corals do you have? I'd try to get a couple more powerheads in there. Point them at each other or off the glass.

Couple coralia 4's would really imrove your turnover.

The flow really depends upon what type of corals yo are keeping.

i am keeping mostly softies and i have a frogspawn in there already

Mabey increase the flow to around 20x per hour. Use a wide flow pump like a seio or korallia or tunze
