Frogspawn Too Much Flow

[NewGuy8899]

Does it look like my frogspawn is getting too much flow?

It's a pic, so it looks like suspended animation... need a little more information please.

well it's not smashed all to one side and waving a white flag so uhh maybe not?? Maybe?? .. palm trees .. too much flow

You could try taking like 30 photos in rapid procession. Then post them all one after the other and we can flip through really fast! ;)

I’m more so concerned about the deep white like stretch marks in the middle.

White light pictures would help and a description of your setup and powerheads etc. The white streaks look like normal coloration to me.

I have a 20g high with 2 1050 gph eflux wave makers at 40% each. They are not point towards the frogspawn

That feels like a lot for a 20 gallon.

With them at 40% it should only be a little over 800 gph?

Are they doing some sort of powering up and down? I suspect they aren't both running constantly at 40% power. So you may be fine especially with a tall tank. Is the sand getting blown around? Then you would have too much..

Nope sand is not being blown and they are set to wave which is a pulsating push from the wave makers.

800 gph plus your filter return would be a bit much at constant flow. If you are at a pulse, it's much less. Let the tank talk to you. If you start seeing bare spots or unhappy, stressed coral... Dial it back.

Yeah, it’s at a pulse every 3 seconds. Everything looks great I just didn’t know who those white streaks in the original picture were because it had too much flow.

Hard to say, the pic is so blue.

Some of my frogspawn have white/green lines on the body of the polyp when they are all puffed up. The green colored ones I think have it more. photo from Corals.com

Some guys like stretch marks

I feel like if the sand was not blown away and it's not under direct flow, it should be fine.
