First of all I have a Bio Cube 29. Last night I put my new Hydor Koralia1 pump in which inturn added 400gph to my exsisting 215gph that comes from the stock pump. I also added a lock line to the stock pump which has distributed the water flow all around the tank. With all that said my corals are freaking out. My xenia recently split into several stalks and was looking good, now is shriveled up and ugly. My polyps/zoas/shrooms will not fully open and extend. Same with my colts. The only thing in the tank that seems not to be bothered are my green star polyps and the candy cane coral. Will they come around and get used to the flow? I know of several people that have added additional pumps to there nanos so it cant be to much flow. Also my freaking 6 line wrasse is all freaked out and somehow has managed to hide in my nano for the entire day, :wacko

I would say that they are just not used to the flow. In my old column tank I had a ton of flow for a very small footprint. It took a couple fo days, but everything came back around.

I've got a Tunze 6045 (1200 GPH!) in my 29 BioCube and everyone's happy.

give it a few days ray and they should come around....the only thing you should worry about is corals such as torches and frogspan that have a hard bases and soft heads as they tend to rupture due to the excessive flow rubbing the heads on the hard bases.
