I have been leaving mine on with the same high flow pattern as the day and it seems that my corals are happier. Flow seems to be a key ingredient to happy and healthy sps.

Since I added a second MP40(4 weeks ago) to my 93G Cube my sps growth has significantly increased and I am getting more even growth pattern since they get blasted from 2 sides rather than just one.]]> Tue, 09 Jun 2015 10:00:46 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=76258&PID=593422&title=flow-rates-for-sps-at-night#593422 <![CDATA[Flow Rates for SPS at night : I never turn mine down.Adam ]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=76258&PID=592746&title=flow-rates-for-sps-at-night#592746 Author: Adam Blundell

I have one side of my tank, (2 vortech's ) go into sleep mode for the night. The other 2 I leave full flow.]]> Fri, 29 May 2015 18:19:10 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=76258&PID=592742&title=flow-rates-for-sps-at-night#592742 <![CDATA[Flow Rates for SPS at night : I adjusted mine so they are high...]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=76258&PID=592738&title=flow-rates-for-sps-at-night#592738 Author: Trevor40

I adjusted mine so they are high at night. I will report back on how things chance. I think more flow will be beneficial to the pH and oxygen levels. ]]> Fri, 29 May 2015 14:40:52 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=76258&PID=592738&title=flow-rates-for-sps-at-night#592738 <![CDATA[Flow Rates for SPS at night : Mine never lowers, it&#039;s always...]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=76258&PID=592730&title=flow-rates-for-sps-at-night#592730 Author: AcroNem

Mine never lowers, it's always the same at night as it is during the day. ]]> Fri, 29 May 2015 12:18:18 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=76258&PID=592730&title=flow-rates-for-sps-at-night#592730 <![CDATA[Flow Rates for SPS at night : I never lower the flow rate at...]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=76258&PID=592729&title=flow-rates-for-sps-at-night#592729 Author: BobC63

I never lower the flow rate at night - because the ocean doesn't do that.
 
I would keep the flow high 24 hrs a day

I have been adjusting my settings on my 2 MP40s which are connected to my Apex controller. My question is this:

What flow rate do you run during night time? Have any of you kept the flow rate the same as day time rate? I am wondering if I keep my flow high(i usually run around 20% at night) if I will get better color and growth out of my SPS?

Thoughts? Experience?
