MaxiStream modified Maxijet 1200 (not sure of exact but) 800 g/h
rio 2500 return 782 g/h

i'm running bare bottom.
your thoughts?

The Maxistream will give you a lot more than 800 gph if it's working properly and the Rio 2500 return will give you a lot less than 782 gph after headloss.

I agree that flow patterns are more important than numbers and going bare bottom with softies defeats the point of having no substrate in the first place: mega-crazy flow. A low flow BB tank will at least easily show you where all the crap is pooling up.
