    Hey all! I got this Aussie gold the other day, and I’ve never kept torches before. It’s currently on a plug, but I just want to check this sort of flow/polyp extension looks okay for it:) The polyps mostly wave towards the camera, but every so often move more vertically, and sometimes more...

    Coralvue Hydros System and Flow Sensor

    I’m currently considering the Coralvue Hydros system for my tanks. I would love to get a Hydros Flow Sensor for my return, but the reviews I’ve read report the sensor’s internal diameter restricts the flow by as much as 1/4” or more. I have a 1.5” return. Is it ridiculous to think I could buy a...
