Hi all,
I was wondering if I could get some advice on flow for my 90 gallon mixed reef and ask some advice on whether or not I need to add some more powerheads.
I currently have the "JBJ Oceanstream Circulation Pump/Powerhead + Duo Wavemaker Kit" for flow in my tank along with a mag 9.5 return pump. The JBJ powerheads state that they get 1600 GPH. I have them circulating on / off once every 10 seconds.
My current corals are as follows:
2 x acropora (not sure exact species)
Duncan coral - 2 heads towards the bottom (2 more heads are currently being generated!)
2 x small colt coral.
1 x green/purple zoa
1 x candy cane / trumpet coral
I will be adding about 20 small frags of SPS in the next couple of weeks to put at the top of the tank.
In the future, I will probably add a few more LPS, but I am tending to lean more on having a SPS heavy tank.
With that said, is this enough flow or do I need more, and approximately how much more flow?
Thanks!
