    I have a green polyp duncan and green flourescent mushrooms are placed on the bottom of my 29 gal biocube. I also have a Pom Pom Xenia which is placed towards the top on the live rock.

    Before I purchased the corals I upgraded the stock pump with a Rio 6HF which is 350gal/hour and I also put in a Koralia 750gph.

    Question is I think I have to much flow for the duncan and mushrooms going over them. Should I put in a smaller Koralia?

    You are better off with a smaller Koralia.
