Nope - it is getting plenty of current - it sticks out nicely...

OK, I'm impressed!

This morning I'm noticing better coloration after 1 day of the gyre flow approach - several corals that collected bits of detritus are clean as whistles - very nice!

OK so you make current spin around and around, this is very effective and you don't need as many powerheads to get high velocity flow, but what will happen to the SPS in long term..?

The article for the gyre is often posted but it was only written 1 year ago, how will the SPS do in the long term if the flow is only in one direction in the gyre? The article does show some other soft corals too so what will happen in a crowded SPS only tank?
I'd like to know also.

And PITSTOP, how can you be convinced and have better color in only one day?

What is the best for random flow? wave2k, tunze, ocean motion or other.
