    I think the jawfish wont work because of their burrowing. Any cool gobies or jawfish you can recommend?

    I love jawfish but all jawfish are going to burrow. One of my favorites is the pink spot goby and the yellow watchman goby

    If you're looking at a reef tank, I would go with at least 3,000 GPH of flow. Two 1400 Koralia's on each side with your return flow (what is it?) should achieve this if you're on a budget. If not, I would look at more expensive options, maybe controllable ones.

    If you ever wanted to SPS, I would look at getting up to, or higher than, 4,200 GPH of flow.

    Depends on the SPS. I have about 3,200 gph in a 150 gallon tank and my birds's nest, stylophora, and montipora spongodes seem to be doing fine. These guys like medium to high flow, and I just have them placed in areas where I have the highest flow. The other areas of the tank are LPS and softies.

    I would probably need more flow for acros and the other harder to keep SPS though.
