I've been to 3 different stores, all 3 with different ideas,which I've tried , not much response here, so I guess it's trial by error

My hammers do good with medium to low flow.

I have seen these strings multiple times. Normally not a sign the coral is dying. I would leave it in the tank. What are your params?
