Is this too much flow for my new hammer coral? Just put the drag in 3 hours ago. This flow in video is with vortechs at highest settings they run at on reefcrest.

Try this. I tried to make it an unlisted YouTube video.It might just be me, but the video isn't working.
That’s what I figured. I have a spot with lower flow but it’s towards the back of the tank, not as visible. I’ll give it a couple days to adjust.IMO It might be just a tad too much. The corals behavior will let you know after it settles in.

Hope as it grows, it will handle the flow a little better. Think it looks like more than it actually is due to the size of the frag.Actually looks about perfect to me. They like a gentle breeze
Thanks, I’ll keep an eye on it and make sure the tissue isn’t getting blasted off.It worked for me that time. I have seen hammer do well in flow much higher and lower than it is in. The coral will tell you want it likes. I say as long as it stays extended and looks happy the flow rate is fine.

Just checked my hammer I guess it looks about the same. I’m just wary of flow on hammers. I killed my first one and I think it was flow that was too high along with low magnesium.Flow looks perfect to me
It’s always hard to compare flow just by watching a video lol. I don’t even test magnesium, just do weekly 3-5 gallon water changes with aqua forest salt and assume it stays in line. I do have some hair algae, so maybe my magnesium is a little low…Just checked my hammer I guess it looks about the same. I’m just wary of flow on hammers.

Sweet, I think it will adjust nicely after a couple days.Looks great to me. My hammers like low-medium flow. Your video looks pretty close to mine near more of a medium flow.
