    Does this look like too much flow? I just put it in on Tuesday and it seems happy, I just wonder if I should move it to a more sheltered area....



    Thanks!

    Video comes up "private" so I can't see it.

    With that said, I've never owned a large feather duster (my copperband would eat it...) but every time I've seen a group of feather dusters thriving in a tank, it's generally in a gentle but consistent flow. sort of what you might find in a sea horse tank.

    I fixed the settings so you should be able to see it now.

    Thanks! I just wanted to make sure it wasn't getting battered too much. Seemed like a lot of movement, but I've never had one before.

    FWIW, featherdusters can thrive in a wide range of flow rates and patterns.

    It does not look too bad. The duster will move if it does not like the flow.
