    Hi everyone, i have setup everything...i actually bought 2 x UNZE TURBELLE NANOSTREAM PUMP 6015. My friend said i dont need two, is that true? He said it will be hard for my fish to swim. I dont have any fish yet since I am still on the cycle, but i want to make sure before hand I was using 1 at first, but i can see some dead zone since the things on the rocks were not moving? And how should i position them?


    Will a JBJ Ocean Pulse necessary?

    as you can see there is one on the middle top of the tan blowing mid left, and there is one in the back close to the filter blowing to the front right botton corner.

    Depends on what type corals you plan to keep. With both you only have 32x turnover. That would only be good for corals that require low to moderate flow. Most SPS and even some LPS and softies require much more. Some on here are at or above 100x.

    Oh, and don't worry about your fish- the reef gets much more turbulent.
