    I have a 72bow and was wondering how many maxijets I should add.
    I would be adding a sureflow mod to them, and Ide like to have a reef. would two 900's be enough or should I get two 1200's?

    would 2 1200's be too much for a 72 then?! cause adding it up comes out to around 4000gph! how many gph should I have for keeping corals?

    For the softies that you want to keep - 2 1200's might be too much! LOL! It might be a little difficult to find low flow areas for some of the corals you want to keep.
