So I started a new thread and ask the question to his responce.
I am trying to postion my Power Heads and need to know what type of current he is talking about.

I guess this question is a bit beyond me as well, with so many variables in pumps and ways to set things up, current will always be different. Perhaps if you let us know what you want we can point you in the right direction brother.

I am going to use this thead to ask the moderator a question if you don't mind.
"These links are deleted, you know why"
I am sorry for doing this again but I do get caught up in trying to assist someone with what I feel is useful information.
If there is information specific to his question available on this site so that I do not have to worry about posting a competitors address could you help me in the education I need in order to find it please.

I didn't see your links so I'm not sure where you were linking.
Feel free to post information, just don't post links.
Read a good article, learn what it says, and post the info here.
SFW allows this forum to exist. Surely you can understand that posting links to competitor sites can't be allowed.

To answer the original poster's question:
According to an article by Paletta, there are three types of water movement important on a reef: Laminar, surge, and turbulence.
The first 2 are easily replicated with properly placed powerheads. The third requires a wavemaker of some source. I use a Wave2k and love it.

I want to place 1- 200 gal/hour power head in each corner pointing towards to opposite corner blowing across the LRs. and 1- 200 gal/hour power head next to the overflow blowing towards the front creating turbulence.
That would equal 600 gals/hour from PHs and and aprox 500 gals/hour from sump return for 1100 gals/hour total in a 75 gal tank = 14.6x
Right now I have a FOWLR tank and want to get anemones, zoos, and mushrooms later after tank has cured for a while and I get better lights.
But I'm concerned about to much flow for fish and is this the right type of current?

We all know how you feel, in this respect we are all "hand cuffed" so to speak. Heck I did the same thing when I first got here. In my opinion it is acceptable to cut and paste an excerpt from the article here.
Milkman ~ good explanation
