| I think the flow gets reduced by 30%, if I remember correctly. I'll have to check once I'm home again (two weeks). It's dependent on how you set the little knobs...
You know...I've changed so many things with my new system. Everything is thriving and doing much better, including better coral growth and polyp extension, so it's difficult for me to pinpoint which change is responsible for the improvements. But, i have noticed in the new set-up, when the lights are off and the flow is reduced, all of my SPS corals have fantastic polyp extension, which would indicate to me that they're actively feeding during this time.
I guess it just give the small planktonic life a little bit better of a chance to rise up in the water column and it gives the coral polyps and other creatures a better chance at snagging things.
