Morning everyone

Trying to fine tune the flow in my wife's Red Sea Nano. We've got a Jebao DCS-1200 return pump and a Jebao SLW-10 for flow. The UV on the right side glass is temporary, as she's been battling dinos for a couple of months now.

Having not ventured into euphyllia in the past, I feel like I'm not 100% confident in my assessment, but I *think* this is the type of flow we're shooting for.

What does everyone think? I feel the pulsing is what I'm after, with very little chaotic flow.

That seems ok..they can handle more though. I would personally stretch out the pulse more but if everything is happy then messing with it is a risk.

They accept subtle to moderate flow. The idea with euphyllia and flow is with torches, you want them to move like leaves in the wind and other like hammer and frogspawn, they should sway to keep sediment off of them but you dont want them bent over the skeleton which can tear their polyps off the skeleton. Assure calcium no lower than 380 for skeletal health.
