or any corals for that matter

Hey guys i have been reading this forum pretty seriously in order to get more knowledge about my new corals.

The system is a 110 long (6 foot). Lighting is Ati PowerModul with 7x54 watt bulbs. Flow, 2 Hydor Koralia 4s, and Eheim 1262 for return. Skimming, a deltec APF600. 20 gallon sump with refuge full of chaeto.

I ran the system for 6 months without corals, to give me time to read and for the system to mature.

Well now i just went and got me a bunch of mushrooms, zoas, 2 tiny finger leathers, 1 bubble, 1 torch and 1 frogspawn.

I am very concerned about the flow and their acclimating to lighting. have a look at the video and tell me what you think about the flow and placement. Obviously the placement is temporary,..but i have been moving them around these two days way too much, not deciding where they should go. There seems to be great differences in opinion,..high flow vs low flow and so on. The corals have been in the tank for 2 days now. Let me know your thoughts

thanks

They look fairly happy to me.

mushrooms, bubble, torch, and frog spawn should be a bit on the lower flow side of things, but can tolerate quite a bit of water movement.

The leathers like pretty good flow to keep the mucus from building up.

Cool,..i was worried there was too much flow. I dont like the aquascaping at all but dont wont to diturb the status quo right now. And i cant find a place with less flow then where i placed them.

Since i posted, all corals have expanded even more. Well see how it goes,..thanks for the reply
