Wondering about the flow.

[Danroo]

This is my toadstool leather in a 20 gallon tank and I was wondering if this flow is too much for it. Cause I’m having a hard time understanding the concept.

It's a little hard to tell with the camera movement, but no - I don't think it's too much flow.

Can you tell me if its low medium or high, cause this toadstool is close to the pump which is running at 100% 660 ghp. Sorry about the movement the video was casually taken.

Not really, no. It looks ok. I Imagine if the flow was too high the toadstool would be retracting.

Oh I’m just asking in general cause I’m not sure if this is adequate flow for other types of corals cause I might get other types of corals in the future. This was just for an example.

Corals looks open and happy.
I like 50x 75x turn over for flow.
So 20 x 50 1000gph
Direct high flow can be hard

Even for SPS, I just feel like 1320 ( got two pumps ) feels less even for lps in a 20 gallon I don’t see much movement even on my zoas unless they’re right next to the pump.

I run 1000-1500 in my AIO 20. Tons of movement. Maybe your pumps need to be cleaned or not outputting said flow.

Hmm maybe you’re right haven’t actually cleaned em since I got
