Question

Current Just right or too Much ?


I have 2 MJ600's blowing across the back of my tank (125 AGA), and 2 MJ1200 on a wave strip. I moved my rock recently to be against the back of the tank. I had it in the middle but needed more room in the front.
The 1200's use to be partialy blocked by the rocks. This is no longer true and it seems like I have a LOT of current no matter how I position them.
Where I am keeping LPS's and softies, do I need this much current? I am thinking of replacing the two 1200 with 2 more 600's for a gentler, softer but continuos corrent.
What's the concensus or can you share what works for you.

Ever trying to learn.

Jeff

How do the corals look w/ that much current? If they look ok, then I would leave them alone. Do you have the MJ position so it points the output to the glass? That way, it won't be a direct blow to the corals.
