    I have the following powerheads in my tank

    2 modded maxijet 900 (they put out about 1200gph a piece)
    2 koralias 750s
    and the return about 700 GPH after loss


    I have basically the 2 900s on the right side of the tank and the 2 750s on the left along with the return so its pretty even. However we have invested alot of money into corals and we dont want to mess up the placement.

    Corals I have roughly

    Frogspawn 10 heads
    Huge Candy Cane
    Aussy Elegance
    Acans
    Ricordeas

    The tank is drilled (No overflow) upper left is return upper right is drain.

    Any suggestions? Ill include a fts also my tank is a 150 tall 48 wide, 32 tall , and 24 deep.

    a real basic rule seems to be 30X tank volume turnover for LPS and 50X for SPS!
