need more specifics are u keeping fish? SPS LPS? where will they be placed? as long as there are no real "dead" spot in the tank you should be fine but some folks really like to TURN the water!!! I move about 1000 gallons per hour in my 135 and thats just the return from the sump!!! I also have a 402 in the corner and a 2nd 402 in the sump just to redirect water from flowing straight across the surface and back into the tank!!!

So I guess the best I can say is "it depends"

Like they said it depends on what you have in the tank. It sounds a little weak but could be ok. I would probably loose the 600 and add another 1200 my self or keep the 600 and still get another 1200. Fish like good flow just as much as corals do.
