Yellow leather question

[Ron Reefman]

Thank you for your advice. I've read that these guys like "strong indirect flow".

That is, flow that isn't just pounding at them 24/7. How do you create "indirect" flow with a wave maker? Or is it more about positioning the coral elsewhere...

I will leave him be for now, but if he doesn't come out then this might be worth experimenting with this. Cheers.

Indirect flow just means you don't have the wavemaker pointed directly at it. You can increase the indirect flow in the tank by adding more water movement. What kind of turnover (total flow= return pump flow to the tank and all the powerheads, wavemakers and gyres divided by the water volume in the DT) do you have in the tank now? And IMHO, the more random the flow is in the tank, the better. I'd rather have 4 small pumps at 400gph than 2 bigger pumps at 800gph... or even at 1000gph.
