Is this too much flow

Cmajor · May 25, 2021

So my davinci clowns just finished qt yesterday. They are in my 125 gallon with 2 jebao cp 150 cross flow pumps and 2 nero 5 pumps. Is there anything as to much flow for the fish to handle or will they adjust to the new environment they are in. I know in the ocean the flow does not stop, so im thinking they will adjust and be ok. Just looks like they may be struggling. Looking for opinions. https://youtu.be/MY73PGUkmkc

They look like tiny guys trying to get close to the rock to not be in direct flow. That's a lot of action from your listed pumps. IMHO, id be turning them down.

Yes, you can swim fish to death with huge flow. Also, the currents in the ocean tend to be variable not unidirectional, ebb and flow over the tides. Fish in the ocean will find areas where the current isn't to overwhelming.

When it becomes impossible to grab/obtain food, its too much flow. Coral should be waving in the water, not bent over.
