Is this too much flow for a torch?

[stanleo]

I put this torch in yesterday. When the lights started to ramp up at 8am it was all closed up and now it is almost fully extended so I think it is ok? How much flow for these is too much flow?

The video is not working.

 

[stanleo]

That's weird it works for me and I do it this way every time.

 

[stanleo]

I tried again

It says the video is private and unavailable for me as well

 

[Scurvy]

Cannot view the video either. You have it marked private. Torches will handle a lot of flow. Much more than other euphylia will generally tolerate. If you search for it there's a video out there somewhere of torches being maricultured where they get crushed with strong flow by design.

 

[stanleo]

Duh I didn't click through uploading it. It should work now.

 

[Scurvy]

Not too much, Looks good. Could handle more.

 

[Bryknicks]

Agreed, the torch should handle that flow with no problem

Alright, thanks guys. Am I the only one who thinks adding a new coral is stressful?

 

[Jeff Jarry reef]

Looks good to me

When adding new coral you have to acclimate them appropriately, and even if done properly they can still have a negative reaction until they are settled in. It's all part of the process. As long as your parameters are good and you aren't blasting it with high lighting, then it will settle in shortly and you can leave everything alone. Just sit back and observe
