| Plate Coral ![]() | So it's going to be a softy tank. I would recomed, this is JMO, about 10 - 15 times waterflow. so about 750 gph. Either make a spray bar for behind the rockwork, or a small ph to keep the water flowing. if you have a SB, I would recomend a smaller PH with a very low gph for behind the rocks. In my 15gal I have a minijet 606 behind the rockwork, this is a little too small for your set up, but for mine it's perfect at around 80 gph. I have a rio 600 for my main flow that's rated at about 200gph. HTH

| Plate Coral ![]() | I think just one low one will do what you need, especially if you have a decent amount of room between the glass and the rock. The PH that's behind my rock work is low, I figure that is sufficent. You're welcome, and call me Bill. ![]()
