mixed reef...how much flow?

[kevin21]

hey,

i have a 75g up and running for about 2 and 1/2 months.

only specimens in the tank are snails and 2 true percs.

i have a quiet one 4000 for my return from the sump.
i also have a aquaclear 402(400gph)on the right side of the tank.

for a mixed reef with sps,lps,softies and clams...what else should i get for flow?

thanks

it depends. each reef is different. it should be alright with what u have. maybe one more powerhead in the tank for a bit more circulation but it depends on what corals u are keepig and their placement.

It's hard to say in a mixed reef. You'll need to find a balance. SPS like lots o flow. While if you have too much flow you could kill your softies and LPS. However, some LPS can deal with high flow and some cant.

thanks, my softies and lps should be lower in the tank, so maybe i should just add 1 maxi-jet 1200?
