<> I would also like some advice regarding circulation. < >> I have a manifold around the top of the tank with four outlets (each corner) putting out around 500-600 gallons in total and the return from my sump an extra 500-600 gallons. On top of this I circulate around 500 gallons through the rock work to try to minimize detritus build up in between and below the rocks. The main concern I have is the effect on my LPS corals such as the goni’s and frogspawn. They are pushed around in all directions quite vigorously and I am worried this may have some longer term impact on them. <> Although currently they seem to open well and look healthy. <> Have I gone with too much flow or should I maintain it considering I am adding some varied SPS corals to the tank currently. <
