BTA like a lot of current?

I just bought my self a new power head filter that seems to be moving the water really fast. Do the BTAs like a lot of water current?

yeah they like flow... Is it direct flow or indirect flow? what size tank? what powerhead?

 

[jw0934]

its a 55 gallon tank. Indirect flow and the power head is a Hydor Koralia 3.

My bubble tip loves to be right in front of my koralia powerhead.

its a REALLY strong current and didn't know if it would hurt it or not, if it liked to be beaten around like that........it stays in the far back left corner on my live rock and I have the power head above it pointed towards the other end of the tank but the current is coming back and hitting it on the bottom.

In general, BTA's like a lot of flow, if it's too much or too little it will move to where it wants to go. Mine moved right into the path of a modded Maxi-jet - 1000+ gph....it since split and both clones are planted 8-10" from this powerhead!
