Hmmm, do you have a closed loop or is this all going through the sump?

no it not all going through the sump The 4 powerheads I'm running is about 1,045GPH and the Fuval is 260GPH the pump that's in the sump is 977Gph wet/dry/300GPH,Penguin 330 is 300Gph so its actually a 2802GPH not actually 3000GPH.

How are the fish doing in all that flow..??
I had to move my Long Horned Cowfish to the fuge cause the high flow in the reef was "burning him out"...Stuck on the overflow grill)...
He's happier in the low flow tank...

Wow some of your tanks are flowing alot of water, 3000 in a 75? Thats alot more than it needs. Im setting up a 210 shark tank (The filtration is going to be a total of 1700 gph, and the power heads will be pushing a total of 690 gph.) So my total of filtration will be x8 (6-8 is the recommended amount needed to filter a tank) and total water movement will be 2390 gph which is x11 the total tank size.
