Wow...that is a crazy amount of flow for Gonis.....seems to be working for you though 😄!
Omg. You call that crazy?

I need to show you mine later today. 😬
 
Do you have photos of your gonis?
 
Would love to see some other videos! I wanted to post so others can see that they can take quite a bit of flow as long as it is not directional for a long period of time and that the flow doesn't really influence the polyp length too much from my experience once they are adjusted.

There was a video online a while back of maricultured torches in Indonesia. They looked like they were palm trees in a hurricane.. WOOSH.... WOOSH back and forth
 
I just got home.

Hmm. In my head the flow seemed stronger. It seems very slow now. Weird.


I think it's because of the torches look like they are in a hurricane

The laugh for the comment. But I love those gonis!
 
Just cleaned the two reefwave 25 that are on my 24" x 20" x 10" acrylic tank that has the Goni Garden. Give you an idea of the flow they get.

I never turn the intensity down after wavemaker cleaning, everything in my tank is used to hurricanes and tidal waves.
 
Admittedly, I’ve done in an Acro or two with flow, but changes in the intensity, the aquascapes effect on current speed and it’s direction can make a difference. Fun thing with all my gyres is directing them in different directions and using the apps to make things interesting. There are periods of rest, eyes to my hurricanes.
