water flow and cardinals

[rgreatho]

Hey Reefers:

do your banggai cardinals enjoy the rapid current you provide for your corals? or do they prefer the calmer areas of the reef?

Mine don't seem particular bothered by the flow I have in my tank but they don't hang out right in front of the tunze streams either :D

My Banggai Cardinals seem to prefer the calmer waters away from the Tunze's. They mostly are at station keeping mode (not moving).

My Pajama cardinals definitely hang out near the lowest flow area in my tank. Which happens to be up high above the LR on one side of the tank - I am using a closed loop with a OM Squirt moving about 2400 gal/hr. They will however, venture anywhere to grab food - of course it has to be moving towards them as they don't seem to chase food.
