To my surpize and against everything I've said & thought, My corals are looking better. Polyp's are out and fuller and ric's are getting bigger. Even my frogspawn has doubled it's size. My Acan is fuller than I've ever seen it.

My flow was like your's in that vid. Just my 0.02.
Do you have SPS?

Re: SPS Flow Video-Pocilliapora

LPS and softies for the most part, prefer lower flow than for SPS. Probably why your frogspawn and company got better looking with the lower flow. IMO
