Welcome to the wet part of the pethobbyist boards.

This is my neck of the woods so to speak, so if there's any information I can help you find just let me know.

As for your current question, I think it should be alright as long as the current goes by your live rock and circulates throughout the tank. You can test this by adding something like a big bead. Just make sure whatever you put in there, you take out and that it won't crack the glass of your tank.

This is just what I think, and I've never had a saltwater aquarium, but I have done some experiments in the lab with water flow. Of course my professor used a bobber (you know the fishing kind), and I recommended a bead or something simliar. This is because we were testing surface flow and you want to test the entire tank circulation.

What kind of fish do you want? Any ideas yet?
