Hey guys,
I have been experimenting and learning with my first ever reef tank, an Evo 13.5. I added a bunch of corals yesterday and some rock flowers. The tank had seemed to be doing well with the setup I had with the stock pump and a Jebao Sine SOW-3 wave maker/powerhead.
Now I have the new corals in I wonder if there is too much flow from this wave maker across the bottom/front of the tank. It seems to be going across the back of the tank and hitting the right side and flowing back across the front low in the tank.
My rock flower has headed off the top of the rock on the right, assuming to get out of the flow as the light was better where it was and my Hammer now seems less happy than he was.
Should I wait it out and see how things settle? Move things around (The hammer is on such a tall skeleton I have less options to move it) or change the wavemaker?
I have a new pump to go in that's a little bigger than the stock and a random flow head for the return, but was waiting till things settle a little to change that over - don't like changing everything at once!
