maybe there was something else involved. Mine are as dense as they get and I have low flow.

YOu can't just say it was the flow because parameters would have been different, lighting etc...in two different tanks.

I have a 75 gallons Osaka tank 42" long, with only 2 koralia 1050, one on each side facing each other. The flow in my tank is very gentle pretty much everywhere. Misleading? that's what I have in my tank and that's the result I get, so there must be something else involved.

Mine don't grow thin branches at all, they grow huge and very thick...and those that are nearly with no flow are no exception.

Here is a frag I did of the one that is farther from the flow, and receive bearely any flow...I keep fragging it and it keep growing tons of branches and reach the surface.



and the main coral. I don't think any of them look skinny.

The frag in the high flow tank grew way more heads and was very dense/thick. The frag in the low flow tank was very thin and branchy and looked very fragile. The difference was night/day.
