Hi everyone:
I have the fluval 13.5 gal EVO tank - going on 3 months now. I have upgraded the light and moved to a Syncra Silent 1.0 pump (on low setting). I have noted much better flow in the tank. I watch each coral frag so see flow evident as much as possible i.e. candy cane coral I can't tell but xenia, clove polyp, duncan - I can see it move and they all seem happier.
I also bought a small wave maker but then it looks like everything is being knocked over no matter how I try to angle the nozzle. I understand the ocean can have strong currents that we need to mimic and flow is needed to move food to coral and remove waste and other nuisances.
How do I know I have enough flow and what is too much? Is there a meter or way to map your tank for flow?
