Good morning/afternoon/evening everyone,
I've finally broke into SPS this weekend since my tank has been steadily producing coralline algae I figured it was time to try. I went to my LFS and snooped around finally returning back with one and here is where everyone can flame me. I've completely forgotten what type of SPS the LFS told me it was, so that's my first ask. Can someone please identify for me?
I believe I have my lights adjusted. Went through with a Seneye and did PAR meter readings all over. Settled on a good APEX percentage for my Kessil 360's intensity, with the top of my aqua scape averaging somewhere around 300 PAR which seems somewhere within the consensus of the community (time will tell with as my coral selection grows).
Second opinion, is the piece that is a little more generic... FLOW. All my research and YouTube watching tells me SPS need 'HIGH FLOW' however, that's a very generic term and could mean different things to different people. So in the video below, I have a close-up of the stick with it's polyps out blowing in the wind. It looks appropriate to me, however, I would like the guru's to weigh in on what SPS should look like under 'HIGH FLOW'.
Appreciate everyone's time and suggestions.
