#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#This probably sounds like a dumb question but I need a little help. I have a 29g tank with polyps, anemone and fish. I dont have a sump just a hang-on skimmer. I have two powerheads, a hagen 270 gph and a aqua-tech 170 gph in each of the back corners blowing toward the front middle. Is this okay in you guys opinion? Thank you as always!!!#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#

Will that gives you 15 times turnover will be plenty for whit you have in it

If you decide to have SPS you may wont to get more but your fine whit you have

I like to ether point them toward one another or bounce them off the glass to
get some turbulence going

exactly what jerry said. you should have enough current in there for what you have living in there. when you get into corals and the such you want to increase your turn over rate.
