Is this good flow for my Torches and Hammer?

[Scott1071]

I just got these 2 torches and 1 hammer today from Cherry Corals they have been in the tank for an hour and a half already is this good flow for now until i decide where I want them. Is it too much or too little? TIA

Happy Reefing!!

Maybe you can't had a problem before with uploading a video grrrr. Might have to try another way to upload it.

Looks about what I've got on mine. It's hard to tell until they inflate a bit more.

I could see the video just fine fwiw

I can see the video and flow looks fine. When torches, hammers & frogspawn are small it always looks strong but they thrive in that type of flow IME. Mine have always done better in moderately higher flow as they've gotten older and started growing. This was 2 heads last year, is now 30+ and it's in fairly high flow.

Wow that is a beautiful hammer for sure love thr blue on green. Might have to be the next hammer I get.

Looks fine. On a side note, I'd personally move the hammer away from the torches some. Not sure if it's true or not that even though they are of the same family that torches can sting hammers and frogs, but given the cost of some of these guys, never was willing to risk any to find out.

Yeah I am not sure either about that and I will move it over a couple of places on the frag rack just to be on the safe side. will have to move a few acan frags off the other end of the rack to do so. Just need to decide where to put the acans at in the tank.

Yeah the torches will sting hammers & frogspawn. I have hammers & frogspawn, would love to have another torch or two but both of my tanks have foxface/rabbitfish and they nip the daylights out of torches.

I moved it over a couple of spaces on the frag rack. going to get another rack for more aggressive corals to be on. Just have to decide where I want the Acans I have then I will have a lot more room on the rack.

I want a frogspawn also and one more Hammer that is Green with blue tips. For now I will see how these do in the tank then in a month or so I will be on the look out for a nice Frogspawn and Another hammer.

When it comes to flow, it will depend on tank dimensions and coral location.
I have a euphemism jungle all under moderate light and water flow with all of them towards the bottom

I have pretty good flow in my little LPS growout and they seem to like it.

Nice tank you have there for sure and yes it is a 32 gal biocube with a new icecap gyre 2k I put in it so the flow is good. I think I have it dialed in awesome because everything that was in the tank seems good so far.

That is some flow you got going there and that Torch seems to love it for sure.

 

[LeftyReefer]

I think the flow in your tank looks fine, other than maybe being a bit one-directional....but not bad by any means.

I'm just looking at that one in front and it seems to be getting only hit with a right to left flow there. but again, not bad by any means.

Good looking euphyllia!

 

[vetteguy53081]

Torches seem to love high flow which makes you wonder how they get nutrients... LOL
