Miracle Grow of Flow

[robert.talarico]

I received an email from planet zoa earlier today. Going to give it a try on my almost dead polyps I received from Mr. Coral. We'll see how it goes.

I have done this with zoos, gsp and many others, I also do this with all new corals when adding them to my tank for a short amount of time.

what results do you have?

High flow (blast them) until they start to open then move to medium flow= great results. as for new additions to the tank I always put them in a high flow area for the first hour just to blow anything off that might cause them harm= never lost anything due to new tank shock.

Did you try this yet? So if I am reading correctly you aim the powerhead right at the corals? How long do you do it for?

Subscribing to follow along. This seems like causing more stress on the coral.

Like the original article states put the coral 12"away from the powerhead not 1".

Ahh ok. Is there a suggested flow rate?

Not sure I just always put mine in the fastest flow area in my tank.

How long do you let the corals do this?

45 minutes to an hour depending on the coral, or if its having issues opening I put it there until it opens.
