Typically, that's not correct. Softies in particular do better in "dirtier" tanks, and the high flow often bothers softies and LPS more than benefits.

Hmm, now I wonder if I should do a closed loop for more flow now. I will mainly keep LPS I am sure since they are a little easier. Perhaps I will start a thread on high flow and BB, this isn't really one to discuss this since most are looking for photos.

Thanks Vince. Still trying to get used to this whole BB thing. I need more flow. The one thing I miss my SB for is it hid the detritus so well.
