Marie, you get such good polyp extension. Most of mine only extend like that at night. I wonder if I should bump up the flow. What kind of turnover do you have in your tank?

At the moment I have 2 tunze 6060's (1600gph ea I think), 2 modified maxijets (1600gph ea), the wavebox and whatever the return pump is, 1200gph?

I have 2 tunze 6085's coming from JL that are rated at 2100gph to replace the 2 maxijets

You're getting about 43x turnover plus the wave box; I'm only getting about 27x. Mind you I read somewhere that corner tanks distribute the flow better than a rectangular tank. Anyway, I think I'm going to bump mine up to about
40x.
