I have two quick questions... First off I tested my Phosphate levels today and they were between .5-1.0 ppm. I use RO/DI water and Instant Ocean salt and really dont feed too much.. What could be the cause of these phosphates and how much should I worry? Also I wanted to add more flow to my 115 gallon reef tank. I keep a clam, some softies, a few lps hard corals, brains, mushrooms, Gorgonian, etc. I have just a pipe hooked up to a pump now That is in the middle of the tank and flows toward the right wall. This is really not enough flow ( I don't know the specs on the pump, etc, I did not install or purchase it). But I was wondeing what kinda of a powerhead and pump if needed should I get? I was lookign at maxi-jets and others but didnt know the proper flow rate for my tank. Should one more powerhead suffice or is more reccomened? Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Check out the Seio Superflow pumps. You could probably use 2 or 3 of these for around $50 each and a wavemaker power source to create the current.

You definately need more flow.

I misread my phosphate test so that was the cause of that! I also just purchased one seio 620 and one maxi jet 1200. I will think about adding more flow once I add these two powerheads. Should I consider moding my Maxi jet?
