Waterflow Question

[Brizjuan]

I just picked up 2 Koralia 3's for a steal from somebody on Craigslist... I want to add more flow to my 27 gallon cube... Once I plugged them both in it seems pretty crazy in there... Is this to much flow.. Should I just be using one? I have SPS and LPS...

For the SPS it should be OK. Depending on what LPS it is, it may be too much for them.

If there is a sandbed in there that is blowing around, you better try just one. If your tank is barebottom and the water is staying in the tank, Let 'em flow!

Just frogspawn, candy Cane, Green Gonipora, and I also have GSP

I do have a sandbed which started blowing around but I was able to direct them so that they didnt blow to much sand around... Everything seemed to close up a little when I plugged them both in but I am sure they just got a little caught off guard with the new blast of flow... They were used to 2 little nanos

froom what I've seen, Frogspawn isn't a huge fan of a lot of flow. Unless it's a bigger colony. Then it's like leaves on a tree it almost buffers itself, if that makes sense. I would think that the others should be fine though.

Are they controllable?

No just the standard
