I have a 75 gallon Red Sea Reefer 350 XL. My corals have not been doing well. I have some basic "beginner" corals, like Zoanthids and some LPS. My tank has had some struggles lately, including that my Gyre Pump broke and it took me a week to get a replacement. Bu I took the opportunity to read up a bit on flow and the impression I got was basically more flow is better. So I set my Maxspect XF230 Gyre Pump to 70%, vs 40% before. Clearly the flow is a lot greater. But, the LPS corals are more retracted and generally looking unhappy. Is it likely the flow is too high? Or maybe the unhappy LPS's is just a coincidence? Is there something I can measure to check that I have the appropriate amount of flow?
