Hey everyone,
I drew a little diagram of how I currently have my 65 gallon reef tank set up in terms of the powerheads and pumps. The circulation pumps point about 10-15 degrees downward and hit the back panel above my live rock. I currently have only LPS (up high) and soft corals (mid-low) I believe this is a solid way of doing the powerheads but I would appreciate any one else's opinion on this as this powerhead set up is still new and I want to make sure i'm doing this right.
I was also thinking about maybe adding a small (200-300 gph) pump on the back panel center pointing to the front glass at a small angle (5-10 degrees) down that runs 24/7, do you guys believe that would be good, bad or unnecessary? Would this setup be enough water movement to keep some the easier SPS coral out there (not talking about lighting at all)?
Any thoughts/opinions/ideas would be appreciated!
