Mixed Reef

[anthonys_aqua]

Anybody here have a mixed reef?

Im having an issue with flow here, pretty much all my sps is on this 24" caribsea arch and most of my euphyllia are on the left/center side which gets hit with a good amount of flow and probably why they arent extending as much.

I guess I messed up there, I might move the torches over to the left and maybe place more sps in the middle since most of the flow is there, let me know if you guys have any tips!

I agree, they will not open fully in high flow

Looking good. I like the sps arch!

I recently moved my tank around a bit and my torch is getting more flow. I need to move it, it's not extending like before so that's probably it.

Looks like you have some cyano issue going as well in the tank.

Dang tank looks huge to me for some reason, how many gals? Love your euphyllia garden

Gyre and a Nero on the right side might be too much flow. You probably only need 1 powerhead.

its a jebao slw 20 that I had lying around, decided to add it for random flow

All the euphyllia on the arch is not a good location may want to put them on the bottom away from the powerheads.

I’m working on growing a mixed reef, 3 MP40’s total on the tank. One on each end of tank (two on right side). I place my wall hammer underneath the left pump and currently adding torches underneath the right pumps to help with indirect flow. (Baby torches)

I put all of my euphyllia underneath the overhangs in my tank. Lots of trial and error
