Is this too much flow

[jacobcoral]

I recently got three torches and had to move my powerhead to make sure they got enough flow. I just want to make sure the hammer isn’t getting too much flow in the back right corner of the tank.

If anything, that looks like low flow for a hammer.

I think it’s becuase the lights are out and he’s closed up, I’ll attach a better video tmr

Okay, but even closed, my Hammer dances much more than that. The video of the extended tentacles will tell more.

There is barely any movement, only the hammer barely moves but nothing else moves, I would increase the flow personally.

Not saying this is perfect, but here is my Hammer (which seems to be doing fine) after dark:

I agree that I would increase the amount of flow it is getting. You want the hammer to be swaying back and forth.

This is similar to mine

Here is my same Hammer as in the video above, but daytime:

Definitely not too much flow. Did you increase it since your original post? It looks like a bit more than in the original video, but you could still use more, imo. The corals depend on flow to bring them food and to remove waste. The tentacles of Euphyllia make this challenging because they look so delicate but also impede flow.
