Too much flow for Magnifica?

[kduen]

Just curious to see if the flow seems about right. It actually just started "standing" about an hour ago, before that both left and right edges seemed to be holding on to the rock for dear life. I have had the mag since 4 Mar and it just recently came out of a precautionary Cipro treatment sunday. The only reason it went in to cipro was because it started gaping and consistantly roaming but every since sunday it looks better and hasn't moved.....yet. Enough of me rambling already here is the video!

That much flow is about just right for Magnifica. However, they like smooth rock to attach to and your rock is not smooth. It may move around a bit due to this problem.

Thanks for the good news. That rock is a little deceiving, the spot where it has attached probably only has 1/4 inch difference in elevation. I was going to try and attempt to secure a scrap piece of acrylic I have laying around to the rock some how so that it was as smooth as can be but I have not come up with a good way to secure it yet.

I do not think it should be as smooth as glass....

It needs some of the microstructures of a rock, just not jagged edges with varying heights and textures.
