    works out at 13 x tank volume and provided they are angled correctly to encourage water surface movement, should be adequate in terms of gas exchange etc
    and should provide enough water movement for the fish etc

    what other filtration do you have on the Fish only set up?

    I'm still setting the tank up. Right now, I have the return pump in the sump and the tank filled with the mixed salt water and the sand in the tank. My rock will be here Wed from reef cleaners. I'm undecided on skimmer at the moment. Still searching which the best bang for the buck is.

    Ok

    so you wil have a return pump from sump also adding to the water movement which is good
