I'm wondering if i'm getting enough flow or if I should upgrade/add another pump. I want to make sure i'm not getting food etc left on my rock I'm debating about getting a JB 25 or mp10

your CUC should take care of any left over food. 850gph seems pretty good but you could upgrade if you want.

Will I see a difference upgrading?

an mp10 can produce different wave patterns (reef crest mode, lagoon mode, short and long burst...etc). An mp10 is also adjustable water flow

I dont have any experience with the JB 25 (sorry).

So mp10 worth it does that help with coral and such?

some people think so....corals like SPS like stronger currents, while other corals like softies and most LPS don't like as much flow.

The key is to place coral in spots that fit there needs of light and flow.
