Flow feedback please :)

Piker · Dec 10, 2021

Hello!

I'd love some feedback on my flow. I'm really only seeing polyp extension on one side of my milli, WD frag and Heartbreaker. What these all have in common is that they are near powerheads. I do have a new MP40 sitting under my christmas tree... and nervous me wants to unwrap that guy and get extra flow in my tank...yesterday!

My wife will allow me to throw it in there if it's necessary, but doesn't trust my motives or sense of urgency lol. She politely asked me to have the internet decide, so I've made a short video, and I'd appreciate anyone knowledgeable who is interested to take a look at my tank and answer the poll. I'll appreciate any other advice regarding flow of course.

Here is a short video I made quickly and will likely delete.

I have 7 new acro frags and one 11 months old WWC Heartbreaker who made it through some serious mistakes and a dino outbreak.. I lost a good deal of SPS when I introduced them into my tank. I'm very paranoid about losing these guys this round so am here again asking for help! :)

I have pictures and will probably make a build thread some day, I keep putting it off.

Thanks,

I can’t see the video but I can bump the thread to see if others can, and can help

Ahhh yes that's a gift that would be hard to keep under the tree. I say pull it out. Just let her open one too. Fair is fair, otherwise I think you have to wait. Lol

Make a build thread it can help as a visual aid sometimes.

I'll get on that build thread. She let me open it lol.. The display is only 75g, so now I'm a little paranoid as I did the math and am at 114x turnover not counting the return.

It's running in the back at 25% and noticeably clearing detritus in my dead spots and I do see a little more polyp extension.

I pulled the video bc I got a bc I got a little self conscious at the lack of replies lol.

Pictures attatched for some reference, no video as I'm on the road.

You'll love the feed mode and night time modes, I know I do and the feed mode works great at allowing food to drop to the corals.
Powerheads are like lights, don't know what your missing until you get the right ones.

I've had 2 mp40s, I just added the third (yes in a 75g lol).
