    Ok so on my 55, I took out my 2 750's and added 2 evolution 1400's! Just ordered their wave maker too! My forgspawn has almost lost a head in less than 24 hours, so i moved him down and out of the flow! 1 of my acros polyps are not coming out of 1 side anymore! I have them in the rear corners half way down, facing up towards the middle front!

    I followed lilly's grandad thread on this, just want your opinions on my situation and how long it should take them to adjust! I'll post pic's soon!

    TIA

    Sometimes they never adjust to flow, especially direct blasts. Instead they begin to RTN.

    Make sure the corals are not getting directly blasted by the flow. If you want to add flow with Korallias do it by increasing the number of pumps not the flow of each pump.

    Nothing's being hit directly except my glass! The ph's are aimed at the top front middle of my glass!

    Sorry for the extra crappy pics! On my way out the door for work!

    The acro in the front RTN'd when I first got it! But is making a strong comeback! Has doubled its color this week!

    The Acro in te backs polyps are not coming out on the left side with the new pumps!

    The frogspawn is looking a little better now but def lost some on the right side!
