RE: SPS flow advice needed for my tank.
Alrighty then. I did a little plumbing and now have the secondary pump in the rear chamber as well with an extension that comes over the back wall with a duckbill nozzle that spreads the water out more. I couldnt stand seeint the powerhead in the display and I cant drill the rear bulkhead with the tank full, so this worked out quite nicely. I was able to adjust it so that the soft corals dont seem to be getting too battered and it shoots across the tank from the SPS. There is a lot of movement in the tank, and its random. The hydor flo blows toward the other output on it's rotation and really mixes things up nicely. Thanks for the help.
I havent learned much about SPS yet and it was a surprise to get some to try. I knew they needed really strong flow, and I assumed that meant right on them. Now I know I guess.
Luckily only one branch got really blasted badly, the rest of the frag looks OK. I guess I could always snap off the messed up branch. Does SPS regrow or will the bald spot be a permanent deal? Thanks.
