ive read nearly everything i can get my hands on regarding lionfish care but havent seen anything discussing flow in a lionfish tank. i have a 54g dt with a couple koralia 3s and a koralia 2 and wonder if this is going to blow the poor fish around too much? there are areas of the tank obviously with higher/lower flow but given the movement i see in some of the lps, anemone & softies i think there is a lot of flow in the tank. im hoping i dont have to pull a powerhead out as i think i just got the flow right to keep cyano away but the well being of the fish will come first. the lion going in is a 4ish inch dwarf zebra. any opinions on this? thanks.
EDIT: a quick calculation on the 3 hydors gives me 2,300 gph of flow or > 40X the tank volume an hour. the return pump from the sump is another 300 gph but after pushing water up through over 4 feet of pvc i dont think it matters much.
