Which flow is better for hammer

[Jake_the_reefer]

So I am messing with flow. I am wondering if I should use a powerhead with my 10g or just the upgraded return pump. Does the stronger flow look too strong? Sorry about background noise

hard to tell. if the tentacles are waving all over the place than to much flow. if it has a gentle back and forth and no aggressive swinging than you are good. the tentacles can rip with to much flow. with mine I have low flow directed at my hammer but my turn over in my tank is 60x. mine grew a new mouth and almost doubled in size in 2.5 months. happy reefing.

Right when I plugged in the powerhead a Chung of green popped off (not sure if that's related to the flow or a different event)

Reef roids and reef fuel. This has only been in my tank for like 4 days so it's going to be a little stressed and not open all the way. (It was open all the way then a crab knocked it over)

o yeah sometimes it can take a month or so for them to get use to the new home. mine took a month than rely took off on growth.

It also got hit hard by flatworms in the pet store. So I assume it's going to take some time.
What should I keep my eye out for so I can move it to my main tank that's way more established. (This 10g is 6 months old and has only had soft corals never an lps) if it gets too freaked out I'm gonna move it to my other tank

I never had mine in anouther tank I just plopped mine in my main tank. if that is the goal. acclimate it by drip for 30 min and you would be good to go. yeah pet shops usually don't try to keep corals in top notch shape from my experience.

I'm trying to populate my small tank with coral now. I'd like to put this hammer in place of the small hammer in my main tank, how long should I wait until putting it in my main tank since it did have flatworm (I don't wanna risk transferring it)

you have to do a coral dip no other way the flatworms do not just go away they will awes be there unless you deal with them. I suggest:

Coral Rx Coral Dip - 8 oz

Why does BRS recommend this? Coral RX has proven its worth time and time again. With new corals from so many different sources, whenever we dip our corals here at BRS we almost always find some type of pest or critter that we do not want in our tank. Coral Rx was developed to be safe for your...

this is the only way to be sure you are not infecting anouther tank.

For flatworms, treat with Salifert Flatworm exit according to directions. It will "not" kill any eggs so remove by hand those you see.
