Re: how much flow do you have

what im going to do is keep the LPS low and have the korilias up high where the SPS is and point the return pipes at the water so all they do is help with oxygenation

Re: how much flow do you have

I have plenty of LPS in my 30g tank at 30x. They are fine. They move around a little bit. I don't know the requirements of SPS, so I'll leave that to the others.
