Jumped into sps

[daniella3d]

I don't want to mislead anyone. The only thing I am saying is that flow is not the most important and there are other factors as important.

28x would be strong I guess if there was no liverock and nothing in front of the powerhead. There are a lot more factors in an aquarium than just an empty tank and 2 pumps. I have quite a bit of rock in front of my powerheads to diffuse the flow.

Pretty much everybody who come to my place and see my aquarium are surprised to see the flow and are commenting how gentle it is.

I did add a third koralia 1050 to add more flow on my SPS but I got less polyps extension so I removed it. I did not keep it for long. Things have been going well for 2 years just the way things are and my corals are growing well and fast, so why should I change anything?

You my dear do not have low flow.

Couldn't agree more, daniella3d your statement is a little misleading.

Telling people flow isn't important could lead to some really bad choices, would you be kind enough to share the flow in your tank (powerheads & returns).
