I'm running 2 hydor power heads that push like 1100 gph or something like that in my 150 and one in my 90. If your fish don't seem to be struggling, it will be fine. That's definitely a LOT of flow for that tank, though.

Click to expand... That's only a turnover rate of over 17x. A little high if you don't have SPS corals but if your fish seem fine then go with it Sent from my XT901 using MonsterAquariaNetwork App
