Flow for a 75 G mixed reef


I was wondering what kind of flow would be good for my mixed reef. It will have mainly LPS and some SPS and a few softies. As I said it is a 75g with a 30g sump/fuge. As of now I have 700g/h. I was thinking of when I move I will drill it and do my closed loop with a 1000g/h pump. Will that be enough? It will be like 1300g/h.

Thanks in advance.

Well not sure what your budget is...but on my 75 I found 2 tunze 6000s with a multi controller to be about perfect. You can dial them down to whatever you want and can use many different wave and pulse settings. Would also work great for a future upgrade like most of us do...

Just my $.02

It's is mainly LPS, really doesn't matter much as to how much flow.
A few Powerheads usually is just fine. The sticky part of the question is when you introduce SPS to the equation as the two types require very different flow. The more flow you itroduce for the SPS can cause LPS to expand less and give some LPS an ability to send out the sweepers further. Like Casey mentions, it's all about your budget. Powerheads at the top where the SPS when there is just a few would likely be would do okay but more the merrier.......
