you got to be careful with eductors
I was messing around with the flow in my tank about a week ago. A couple of days later I noticed an acro was losing some tissue but it wasn't rtn. It was in the middle and almost resembled the damage of acro flatworms. So I looked really hard for a while and finally decided that it wasn't flatworms. But when I was looking I did notice the rock that the coral is on was rocking a little bit. Come to find out the eductor on the other side of the tank was pointing in the direction of the rock. There was some crazy flow in that area so I came to the conclusion that the current actually blew off the tissue. I moved the eductor a little bit a couple of days ago and I can now see the tissue growing back. I was getting worried for a little while that I had something going on. Just a lesson, the flow comming out of eductors is very strong. I laugh at the snails when I see them go rolling across the tank.
