SPS water flow ?

I read on this site that SPS's require a high flow of water. How much is considered high flow? I have one SPS that is 3 inches from a Korila 1 which is blowing right on it. Is that too much flow
or should I move the SPS or the power head so it has flow but not direct?

Lots of flow = turnover rate. 25 - 30 X for SPS. Never point a powerhead right at one though!

A lot (20-30x turnover minimum) but random is best. The polyps should move like tree limbs do on a windy day: left, right, up, down with both calm and turbulant bursts. Blasting it from one side is only going to irritate it.

I will move it tonight after work. What is a good brand of wave maker to control Korila powerheads. I have 2 currently and a 950 gallon return pump for circulation.
