    I cleaned my koralia pumps this past weekend. The flow is really strong now. So much so, that I have one pump off. However, since then, some of my corals aren't opening up as much. Even the ones in low flow. I used white vinegar to clean the pumps and I rinsed them well.

    They should adjust depending on the type of corals,placement. Random flow seems to work best.
