Tank is a 90 gallon (36x24x24) SPS dominated. Current flow is 2xmp40 and a tunze wavebox. I run the wavebox at 20% for a side to side wave. VorTechs run between 60-65 reef crest 24/7.

Any recommendations ? I fall around 60x turnover at peak.

I think you should be good for now. :)

But possibly may need adjustments depending on placements of future pieces and growth. I'm fairly packed in a 47x23x22 and use 2x mp40 @ 100% and 2x nero 5's at 100% plus the return. I look to ensure individual pieces are getting good enough flow

I haven’t made any more changes. I feel like adding the wavebox greatly helped with water displacement to eliminate dead spots behind the rocks.
