waterflow for anenomes ?

[keith gray]

I have a 65 gallon tanking with about 700gph flow. I am told that t would be more ideal to increase this flow for tank health. However, I have also heard that anenomes do not like too much water flow. If I add a powerhead and increase to 15 or 20 x flow will this be OK with my anenome ? :notsure:

Hosting Anemone are reef animals and appreciate a lot of waterflow. What they don't like is a jet stream of water pointed at them. They need a wide flow, ideally alternating or slightly chaotic.

Thanks for the inof. I think I will add a powerhead to increase the flow and do it from the back where it would be hard for him to ever relocate thanks again!

Lol, I love the way ya said that. It's the dang truth IME.
I have a Tiny SeaBae Anenome and some other monster in my 29g right now. I just put another PowerHead in the tank and it's blasting the larger anenome and the small Seabae. THe ANenome loves being blasted by said powerhead.
