    Well since some of my softies havent been growing as of late I decided to take some flow out. I have a 65g tall that had a k4 and 2 k2's. I took the k4 out and just have 2 k2's in the corner sides of the tank. Main reason I did this was for the corals and a new frogspawn I got. It wouldn't open up fully and everywhere in my tank had crazy flow. Well im going to test this idea for about a week or so and see how the tank does with less flow and hopefully it will work.

    Whats everyone's opinions on this?

    ya im hoping, one of my k2's has a larger prop in it, korallia sent it to me saying its the right one and the thing puts out tremendous flow almost as much as my k4. Only thing im worried about with flow is my rbta, heard mixed things some like alot of flow others dont. I may switch the sides of the k2's to give my rbta a lil more flow.
