    Hello Everyone! my name is Steve and I am new to the forum but not new to the hobby. I have kept a reef aquarium for about 9 years now. I currently have a 150g SPS dominated tank. I've been through a couple tank crashes and am still here for good. I am the president of the Los Angeles Reef Society (LARS). I love meeting new reefers and helping anyone that needs it. I am no expert by far, I still consider myself a rookie. I will post a couple pictures when I can but I wanted to introduce myself and say hey.

    plumbed together:
    150g peninsula
    80g sump
    20g refugium
    12g frag tank
    atb840 skimmer
    2x mp40wes pumps
    1 grye x150
    custom LED/T5 hybrid
    All controlled through an apex.

    thanks, yes i have a lot of indirect flow and all three pumps are at 50%. It is very quiet with the flow i want. I believe that you can never have too much flow.
