I guess I'm weird that way. There is definitely a lot of flow as I recently added in some Oolite sand. It's blowing everywhere. But I don't see my LPS swaying around too much so... Maybe you are right and another MP10 will be enough.

Thanks.


Update

I decided to re-aquascape prior to adding sand in. I prefer the Iwagumi look of just having two islands instead.



And in goes the sand. It's maybe 5lbs of Oolite sand? A good 1 inch only. I plan to never siphon it but will stir it up regularly. That plus the 3 Vortech MP10's, it moves around a lot.

I just added the sand so it's still covering all the corals/rocks. It's also on the glass which I didn't bother to clean yet.

Here are some close ups. This is from 5 months of bare-bottom with vodka dosing supplementation. I was dosing Foz-down the entire time and kept my tank at ULNS. Parameters were always stable.

See how horrible my corals look? The colors just aren't there. This is why I want to try Zeovit.





Riceboy's special.
