Hey everyone,

I'm new to the forum and fairly new to the hobby.

I've recently upgraded from a Fluval Evo to a Waterbox 20 cube and I want to make sure that I don't have too much (or too little!) flow for my corals and fish.

I'm mainly worried about my goni and torch. I have the waver maker pointed at the rock, a bit to the side of the torch. My goal was to give the torch a decent amount of flow because I've read that they like flow.

Does that flow look OK? Do I need to worry about the clownfish having too much flow or will they just move out of the way of the waver maker, behind rock etc?

Thanks

As long as none of your polyps retract (they look fine in the video), I’d say your flow is...

As long as none of your polyps retract (they look fine in the video), I’d say your flow is ok. Clownfish like to surf the flow, so unless you see them hiding or stressed, they’re probably fine. I’d just keep an eye on everything. Great tank!

I was thinking of swapping the torch and goni positions since it looks like the bottom gets a bit more flow but I’ll wait a bit and see how things go.

Ps I’d shut off the flow when you feed the clownfish if you’re not already.
