Too much flow?? Is there such a thing?

I just got a Vortech MP40 and I'm wondering if running that along with a Koralia 5 and a Koralia 6 on a 120g is too much flow? Everything seems to be ok with them all turned on except the xenia, but I'm not concerned with that.

On another topic, I like the short pulse mode the most so far since I don't have multiple Vortechs. What's everyone else's favorite mode?

The more flow the better, xenia is a weed anyway

I run the 5 of mine on 100% all of the time just because I am too lazy to mess with the different settings.

it depends on the corals you are keeping give it a week or 2

Well sand is starting to stir, I'm going to try and move them around a bit. I plan on putting the 5 on the same side as the MP40 and the 6 on the opposite. I also think I'm going to switch to random mode on the vortech and see how that works. New toys are cool!
