Enough Flow?

[Oshkosh]

I have a 210g (72x24x29 with returns on backwall) tank that has 2 vortech MP40's, on either end, cranked up to about 90-95% along with the return lines which I'm guessing are at 800gph flow. Is this enough flow to house SPS's? If not, what do you recommend for additional flow?

[Shane Hoffman]

you have 2 on each end or 1 on each end????

[Oshkosh]

Yeah, that should be one on either end. thanks for catching that

I personally think that's plenty, as the vortecs can be programed to get the water moving as a whole, and not just blast one spot with laminar flow. Give it a try for a while. If you get any dead spots, you can add a powerhead or 2.

Remember, a dead spot can be your friend if it's not that big. It might be where all your detritus piles up, making your tank easier to clean. Just go to that spot and suck up the sludge.

I would put one on the front end of the side and one on the back end of the other side to create a gyre, that will give you way more flow then you need.
