I ordered all these hammers the other day and glued them onto the rocks today. Is this flow good? I also have a octospawn there. How is the flow for that guy? Also how is the light they are lower down in the tank. There is one hammer that is on a rock that is in the sand will it be fine there with that amount of light.

Let me know if you can see the video

Flow looks fine, mine have a bit more.

Light is very difficult to ascertain, you really need a par meter if you want to know if they are in the right range.....

THat said, if they continue to stay looking that good, then they have enough light.

I suppose depends on what cheap is. I have this one from amazon: Amazon product

Sorry for the ugly link.... But I suppose you could buy and return it.

You could also look for local reef forums and see if anyone local has one you can borrow.
