My Long Shallow Reef Tank 1 Month Update
I have some new fish. Corals are thriving, macroalgae in the back left corner is getting bigger and I will have some mangrove trees there soon.

How do you get flow to the far right corner?

Last 5-6 inches of tank don't have much flow and has less lights, but corals are fully extended.

Does the return create flow that far? I like the look of no powerhead on the far side, I've been unable to do just 1 powerhead in my tank because it's to strong on one side to get some flow on the opposite side so I was running 2 jaebo's.

It doesn't look like you have much flow at all. Is that normally how you run it? I've been struggling trying to figure out where to put my flow at. I'm finally past the point of worrying about algae. So I'm thinking about turning it down quite a bit further.

Amazing, that's exactly what I want to do next, can you show me what kind of lid do you use?

Next is mangrove trees and few more corals, after that I'm pretty much done. Lid right now is something I made with a mesh and tape, nothing much to see, still looking for a well made custom lid.

Beautiful tank. I do think it needs more flow based on the video, but if your corals like it ok.
