LPS and water flow

[ags]

On another thread someone posted that water flow will dictate how far an LPS extends is sweeper tentacles. I have a large galaxia that is defying logic in terms of how far it is extending its tentacles. With the flow post in mind I might have found my problem. The galaxia is on my DSB. I have three SPS directly above the galaxia (1/2 to 3/4 of the way up the rockwork). There are three PH near the galaxia bc of the SPS. Could this be causing the sweeper tentacles to be extending like they are?

I highly doubt this. Maybe which direction, not length, that depends on the spieces.

Ah, long sweepers for these.
This could mess up any SPS close enough.

So should I lower the amount of flow in the galaxia's general direction? Right now I have a PH pointed right at it (flow from right to left) and the sweepers are fighting the flow and trying to sting my hammer. I have moved it as far away from the hammer as possible. Right now it seems to be far enough away but I thought the same thing the first two times I moved it left.
Thanks.

The sweepers could get upto 10/12". You should move corals accordingly. SPS will surely die in this war. The hammers are not as long, but still quite long. Can you put 1 in one corner and the other in the other corner? Then the SPS can stay in the middle.
I don't even know what size foot print your tank has. :notsure:

Standard 90 gallon tank. The SPS are fine it is the hammer that is losing the war.
The galaxia is about 8-10 inches away from the hammer with strong current keeping it at bay. I was using logic positioning the PH but when I read that other post it got me thinking.
Thanks for your help
