Okay. I had a spare 20G tank that I’m now using for coral “quarantine”. Simple setup with Aquaclear HOB, Eheim heater, AI Prime light, and small sicce powerhead.
I added some SPS / sticks to the tank about two weeks ago right before heading off for vacation (mistake #1). When I came back the tank was slightly cloudy but more disappointing was that the flow from the powerhead (all reflected across the tank nothing direct) had stripped away the skin of some of the corals. Ugh.
So my question is how am I supposed to keep good flow in the tank without doing this again? For now I‘ve turned off the powerhead. Would love to know how others are managing flow.
Thanks in advance!
