Great thread.

I am currently running 4 MJ1200's on a Red Sea Wavemaster Pro. It seemed like a whole lot of current initially but now that my tank has been maturing I can tell that the flow has been reduced.

There is also another problem, as my corals are growing they are starting to go into the direct streams of the MJ's which totally rips off all flesh from the skeleton. I can see this a huge problem in the near future. How are you guys that run MJ's solving this while still keeping your flow up?

All of my MJ's are near the top of my tank also.
