I move one that was getting lots of flow but I left the other two in the same spots. Here’s a video of those two.

Can't you slow down the powerhead a little? I think it's still too much at least for the first one

I can but I have it set for the other corals in the tank. I moved the torch that was in the middle.

It's difficult, for me who started recently, having everything happy in the tank was and is a headache, check it for 1 day and then move it a little if you still think it's too much.

Yeah I might leave it overnight and check on them in the morning. If it’s still too much I will move. Thank you Luis

Turn the flow down 15 - 20%. Looks a bit rough.
I would but the other corals that are in the tank like that flow. I will move them in the morning if it’s still too much. Do you think they will be fine overnight?

Looks fine to me… I only have 5 torches but they’re in a sps tank and get ripped around and they grow like crazy! Mine split and grow faster than anything in my tank! Oh yeah they love the highest light I can give them also!

Oh ok. Not sure if I should move them now lol. I moved one that was getting blasted but the other 2 maybe be able to stay in there spots. It’s a bad video because the lights are going off but I can take a new one in the morning and that can give yall a better idea of what the flow looks like.

Here’s the video of the other 2

Do you have a video of the flow on your torches?

That middle one maybe the others look great to me… also sps tank and mine get some pretty solid flow but never just from one direction.
Ok yeah that’s what I was thinking.

Do you think mine are get flow from one direction? Is that a problem?
