So I put myself between a rock and a hard place, I bought 5 nudis to eat my aspestia whick will take roughly a month, now I got them in the tank it seems they are not fond of my crazy flow so I am just running my return pump on the tank do you think all my SPS I'm mostly weird about will be fine with very little flow?

For a little while they should be okay, not too sure about a month......I know the nudis don't like flow & you have to worry about them getting caught up & caught in PH's,overflow boxes, etc....I'm about to go through the same dilemma I'm on my way to pick up 2 blue velvets to help get rid of some red flatworms in my reef.....I would guess that you'll just have to play it by ear & see how your corals do with reduced flow......my $.02
 
Im thinking about tossing in a PH aimed tword my one SPS island to just give it a little extra ster i have no issue with my lps or zoas i know they will be fine.
 
Berghia nudis hunt at night, hide and sleep during the day under rocks or in crevices. If you have your flow/power heads set at lower flow at night, that is the time the eat or forage anyways so it shouldn't be bad for them.
 
lol i have two mp10's and one 6105 in my tank, corals love it they dont i knew i would have to turn 90% of it off for them so i only went down to one MP10 and it still was to much.
 
I think the worst case is your gonna lose some color and growth.... Be prepared for a good gravel vac also since the detrius will prolly just settle in the tank and the skimmer won't get that much of it...
 
if you put it on night mode when lights go off it goes down to 50% duty only
 
I think i might turn it as low as it will go on daylight and turn them off at night.
 
BTW- I had 2 K2's in a 20gal tall when I was breeding Berghia's... I had no issue.
 
I mean i turned on my one mp10 dismonring when they were having breakfast and i saw them hanging on for there life.
