![]() When I first started reading these threads on Canreef and Reef Central I was having issues with cyno algae / turf algae....since I have increased my flow I have no more cyno...and since adjusting my water changes my turf algae is reduced.
When I added the second MP40 to my system it was like a wind storm and it created a lot of added current flow(and some kaotic flow).....my skimmer went nuts for 24hrs....I can say my water clarity is a lot better compared with prior.

![]() 1. Mixed Reef
2. 20 Gal Display 3. Mag 7 Return pump with 4' of head loss and ocean motion squirt ~450GPH 4. Turnover rate-- 22.5 Im looking at upping flow after reading this. I like the flow im getting with the motion over what sps I have but I have been thinking that something down low, like maybe an mp10 would move the lower water column very well.

1. Please give your type of tank: Mixed Reef / SPS / Softies 2. Tank Volume (display only) 3. Pumps and GPH rating (for return after head loss, if you can) 4. Turnover rate (GPH Grand Total / divided by display volume) Thanks
