High Light, HIGH Flow Corals?

meverha1 · 03/07/2017, 06:24 PM

Need some suggestions...

I have two rocks on opposite sides of the tank that are fairly close to my powerheads (MP40s). Both are also fairly high up in the tank. I need corals that can withstand both high light (Radion G4 Pros) and High flow.

For frame of reference I put an acropora on one of the rocks awhile ago and while it loved the light, the flow started to remove it's skin so I had to move it.

Then adjust the powerheads silly..
ripping skin off an acro is just way too much..

You could try putting some sort of encrusting sps coral in those spots.

I did move the acro when I noticed it. That's been a couple of months ago and it's fine.

Adjusted my program downward by about 20% across the board and will see how that goes.
