Hey reefers I have a 60x30x24 I have some lps and softies what would be the best flow setting? I have 2 Nero 7 and 2 Red Sea wave45. I was just running my 2 Nero 7 only and my lfs store said that’s not enough flow for my tank with just those 2 so I put back the Red Sea one on. Both side of the tank and the Nero’s on the back wall. Would really appreciate the help and advice. It seems like I have to much flow in my tank now

Thats not easy to answer. Leathers like high flow, other softies and lps like medium flow, and other softies like mushrooms like very low flow.

I think its more about positioning the coral in the right spot in your tank, rather than trying to adjust the flow to accommodate such a broad range of corals.

So I run pulse mode on all 4 the red sea 45 are at 40 percent on both sides and the nero7 on the back are at 80 percent
