Is this too much flow for my torches?

Watch both videos to get a good idea of what the flow is like.

These videos should work

I move one that was getting lots of flow but I left the other two in the same spots. Here’s a video of those two.

Looks high to me. I like to se a gentle waving. You especially don't want the tentacles hotting the skeleton. They can get infected if they get cut.

Can't you slow down the powerhead a little? I think it's still too much at least for the first one

I can but I have it set for the other corals in the tank. I moved the torch that was in the middle.

It's difficult, for me who started recently, having everything happy in the tank was and is a headache, check it for 1 day and then move it a little if you still think it's too much.

Turn the flow down 15 - 20%. Looks a bit rough.

Yeah I might leave it overnight and check on them in the morning. If it’s still too much I will move. Thank you Luis

I would but the other corals that are in the tank like that flow. I will move them in the morning if it’s still too much. Do you think they will be fine overnight?

 

[RedReefer]

Probably

 

[fishguy242]

agree still too much flow

Looks fine to me… I only have 5 torches but they’re in a sps tank and get ripped around and they grow like crazy! Mine split and grow faster than anything in my tank! Oh yeah they love the highest light I can give them also!

Oh ok. Not sure if I should move them now lol. I moved one that was getting blasted but the other 2 maybe be able to stay in there spots. It’s a bad video because the lights are going off but I can take a new one in the morning and that can give yall a better idea of what the flow looks like.

Here’s the video of the other 2

Do you have a video of the flow on your torches?

 

[moosevandyke]

That middle one maybe the others look great to me… also sps tank and mine get some pretty solid flow but never just from one direction.

Ok yeah that’s what I was thinking.

Do you think mine are get flow from one direction? Is that a problem?
