do sun coral need strong flow to do well? btw can they take strong light?

Sun corals do not need strong flow. They can take strong light but they can be placed anywhere as they are NON Photosynthetic. This means you have to feed them regularly otherwise they will die.

My Setup:

3x2x2 tank with IOS

Equipment List:

Chiller: Artica 1/5HP

Chiller Pump: Sicce 4000

Return Pump: OR3500

Skimmer: Deltec APF600

Wavemaker: Tunze Wavebox/2x Hydor K2/SCWD wavemaker

Lights: DElighting 2x150W MH + 2x 39W T5 Atinic

FR: Skimz

FR Pump: Atman AT-104

Tubby ATO, Kalkweisser Reactor with magnetic stirrer.

good random flow, (not too strong, but good flow). dont need light, which means you can keep them in pitched dark or in bright lights. however, the darker it is, the better they open. they don't need light but somehow, are photosensitive. can sence the light and they prefer dimmer areas. but flow is more important.

Once a week at the minimum for target feeding. If you don't feed them or overfeed them, then they will die.
