Less or more? What's looks better?

On the subject of flow, the more rock, I think the more flow you want. I have a medium rock load, 2 x Tunze 6100, 1 x WP60, 2 x Tunze 6085 and a Maxijet for fun I'm adding a second WP60 this weekend in the hopes that I don't have to baste the end pieces of rock.

FWIW, I think your before pic is better. Allows more flow and still has enough room to grow out corals.

IMO, the more rock, the more nutrient build up occurs.

Damn that's a lot of of power heads. I guess I should add another hydor 1500 I have laying around. I'm gonna order a WP40 with a variable power supply and just use that only or should I just get a wp25 instead? What size is ur tank?

I have a 180g. For your tank, I'd go with 2 x WP25 to stir things up. Even if you add a hydor, the static flow always greats dead zones where you'll get detritus build up. In your tank, that will likely be on the rock and still need basting. Using a couple of variable speed pumps will reduce (but not eliminate) that happening.
I will occasionally move the pumps around to change the flow, this tends to stir up the dead spots.

I found turning the pumps off for 5 minutes then back on will stir up a lot of detritus as well

Adding a mp10 to my tank on pulse mode ontop of my Korilias did a lot as far as detritus export

My newly cut frags i made during my rearrangements in the tank has gone all pale. Why did this happen? Is it because I left them in a small container with a tiny bit of water for about 4 hours while I was rearranging my tank?

Most likely they got too cold or the moving of rock released too much nutrients in your tank ****ing off the frags

I think it may have been too cold. I remember touching the water n was like oh fuk no good. Any1 have experience with this happenening and how long does it normally take to fully recover? There's 2 frags that fully bleach white cuz I had my frag rack like 4 inches from surface. Will fully bleach ever recover or should I just toss it out?
