you are right--its in the positioning of the power heads and some coral husbandry to boot

eg I had frogspawn that just did not like the turbulant flow from a korilia 4--eventually I moved the frogspawn just a few inches and it was happy again,
I have mushrooms growing in a very calm corner of my tank.

it is doable though--I have about 55x turnover in my 120 now and every one is happy
