Not sure about the stinging. Tha Angler does not get too close to the sps beacuse of where they are located.
As for flow. You are right. I'm am challenged with this problem. I had to reduce the flow for the fish, since he swims so poorly and seems to lift very easily with the current. He also got sucked up agaisnt the intakes.
I reduced flow for a few days and placed a grid in form of the intakes to keep him further away. He learned what his tail is for and began swimming much better over a weeks period of time.
I do think the coral may suffer with low flow. This is a concern. After a few days I began running proper flow for a few hours every day. This stirred up detrius where the internal sump and skimmer could do their job.
Phlegmming (Angler's name) has been doing much better with higher flow and no longer gets sucked against the intake. When he gets near it, he just walks the wall away from the force then begins to swim again. He is learning. He is also a better swimmer. When he gains more weight, I should be able to resume regular flow.
Right now I am using one Koralia 2 around the clock. I use a Tunze 6025 during the day. this pump is more powerful. I will add another Koralia 2 to replace the Tunze and I should be able to use both pumps around the clock.
I do not see any ill effect from the corals.
Brian, we can do that. Do you want a tank built?
