To much water movement?

[laxzach]

Can you have to many powerheads or water movement in tank?

aim for 10-15 times turnover for fowlr and over 20x for corals and such

??? whats that mean? If i have 3 maxi jet 1200s for a 70gal reef would that be to much?

you add you add up all the GPH of you powerheads/filters/skimmers and divide by how many gallons your tank is, and thatll be how much turnover rate you have

I have 3 maxi 1200's and a 900GPH return pump in my tank so that calculates 1800GPH or so and I have a 75G tank. The idea is to put the powerheads high and low for the balancing effect.
