    Hey guys I have a quick question. My setup is a fluval fx5 canister filter and a Bakpak 2r+ with a rip 600 skimmer. I currently have 1 tang and 2 clown fish in the tank along with a couple anemones. There's only about 20lbs of rock right noe as well. I'm wondering what else I need to make for the perfect flow. I'm sorry that I'm new to this an may be lacking some more details. Help is appreciated.

    Thanks
    Jeff

    no worries, we are all here to learn. the way i have set it up is i have 2 power heads one in opposite corners who's flow point at each other so in the middle of my tank the 2 streams crash and spread around. together with this i have 2 turbines also on opposite corner that point down along the glass so as to create a light current on the sand bed 2.

    I had a koralia (spelling may be wrong) in the corner pointed at the front of the tank but it seemed like the current was to harsh for the clowns. The tank Is 90 gallon to
