Does shifting of sps help to stop STN

[andysho]

anypne experience that when shifting the sps to another

location in the tank will help to stop STN?

waht is the distance for tunze to be place away from sps?

thanks

shifting may help if the original position was causing stn, like insufficient flow, etc.

distance from tunze? i juz rescape last nite and got 1 tunze which is blowing from one end of tank to the other end, distance of approx 3 feet and one sps at the other end is getting tissue blown off! amazing... seems like some sps can take higher flow as compared to others.

[andysho]

i also notice that those very thin sps cant take very strong direct flow

i have one or two got tissue blow off

Esp mine is a cube tank~~~ dun know where to place the tunze

sia ~~

maybe some expert can list out waht type of sps should be place at where

or rather do it need very strong flow or waht

maybe we should discuss on the placement of diferent sps in a tank

hate to say it but for cube, tunze too strong unless u get the controllable ones. or blow above the sps, ie ur rock scape need to be low so that the tunze move the water between the top of ur rocks and water surface.

thanks for your advice bro

will go and reposition my sps again kekekeke

Bro, too much shifting can kill the sps too!

It all depends....if you have low flow movt area or the current placement has part of the acro block from getting sufficient light.....it may result in bleaching and worse STN...so moving it in this case might help

Andy,

Never blow Tunze direct to SPS, it's not matter how far but all SPS will gone STN and gone. I tried 3' away and gone STN ( 3-4 colonies ).

Now a day, my Tunze bounced to front glass and make nice wave all my SPS like it and coloring up well. You could check in my tank where I put, even though it's old scaping , it did serve me well.

scaping change with time as sps grow. hence, hindering flow directions. IME, appropriate re-location of wavemaker, rescape and pruning of sps will help.
