    So moderate flow enhancing tabling? What happens if flow is high?

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    In high flow my coral experiences decreased PE and it does loss tissue in the strongest of current. Mod flow seems to be just perfect.

    Now I really have to rethink this. That spot is the highest flow in my tank. :)

    Will proceed with caution and see if it's too high of flow.

    Thanks for the help with timing. I'll let it sit where it's at for another week.

    Would you say the flow for the stylo and birds nest in this video is moderate or high? I'm thinking of putting the RP right between them and a little higher in my scape.
