    Hi guys i am wondering if i have to much flow in my 30 gallon long tank with a 20 gallon refuge/sump. I have two korelia powerheads(750gph) and a new return pump which is rated 550gph with a t (one going to the dt tank and the other thru a UV sterilizer.) I only have 2 ocellaris clowns, 1 flame hawk, and a yellow fish(forgot name....), 1 cleaner shrimp, 6 hermits, 10 snails, 1 starfish.

    I have a gonipora flower pot, stargrass or something like that, 2 muchrooms, anthelia. I plan on buying a duncan, frogspawn, hammer coral, and a torch. Will this be good flow or should i turn a powerhead off?

    Probably a bit much for what you need, but there is usually no such thing as too much flow, obviously within reason. If its not broke don't fix it:)

    If things don't seem to be doing well you can try knocking one down.
