I'm setting up a 36 gallon with a 20 gallon sump. If I would like to have SPS, what would you rec on the flow rate? Would two Koralia 2's in the DT do the trick? Also, my returns will be pumped from a 600 GPH pump. Thanks!

Shoot for around 40-60x turnover rate. The key is for it to be random.

random flow instead of laminar flow is much prefered by SPS. wave makers, pulse devices and such can assist. I have even seen a setup with standard timers used to turn pumps on and off throughout the day to change flow patterns in the tank over the course of the day.
