How does everyone keep their sand from moving all over the place in their sps tanks? my tanks not cloudy or anything but seems like once a week a hill will build up somewhere in my tank..

I still don't think I have enough flow but i'm afraid to add more if my sand continues this way..

Either move up or point up your watermovers what ever kind they are.I had to do that in my tank.

I have a 6" DSB using oolitice aragonite(sugar size), so it doesn't take much to get it moving. I have a mixed reef which includes SPS. I've found that if I place the PH lower in the tank and direct it upward that I don't have a major problem. There are a couple of place where I have PH's near the bottom, so I used a little crushed coral in those area's, which worked fine.

Thanks everyone, i've got two of the three as high up as I can place them in the tank and pointed straight across. Should I lower them so I can aim them up?

Yes. Try that out for awhile and see how it does.
