Hello,
I have my first torch and I want some opinions on my current flow. 7ft 255 gallon, running MP40s x4 (2 on each end, offset of each other, and Icecap 4ks x2 on the back wall but not running. MP40s are running in lagoon (9am-9pm), and gyre (9pm to 9am) both @ 50%. Left has master and 1 slave (synced), right has 2 slaves @ 50% anti-sync.
Tank is 84x30x24 and just hit the 13 month mark 2 days ago. currently battling Bryopsis, dosed Blue Flux Rx a week ago. I can tell it's working. Currently fallow having 3 more weeks left. All other coral are doing well.
Parameters
1.026
Ph 7.9
PO4 yesterday 0.03, today .12ppm Bryopsis?
NO3 12.1

Here are some videos, hopefully you can see them. Both videos are in lagoon mode with one being ramped up period and the other ramped down period.

So, what you think about my torch flow? I have a couple places I can move her and right now is under 142 PAR.

Thanks,

Anyone..I know it's long but yall be asking for detailed info so I did. I want to be like yall with the nice coral in their tank(s). Seriously, is the flow good, bad, ok?
 
I'm certainly no expert but it appears to be good, in my novice opinion. Seems to be oscillating, which is great, and not strong enough to be tearing flesh.
