I did three more tests.
Doubled the CO2 bubble rate for the Calcium Reactor and the flow for about the same.
A week later the dinos don't seem to mind, but Cyanobacteria is on the rise.

My dinos like to stay in half shades so I placed an 80W fluorescent bulb next to the front glass increasing the light in their favorite spots on the sandbed by a lot.
For three days the dinos just did their usual thing and didn't care about all the extra light.
Perhpas it's UV from the halides they were hiding from.
They have a glass cover, but who knows.

For the next three days I deprived the dinos of their favorite spots with current that blew the sand around.
I also added two more stream pumps to see how the nighttime free swimming dinos did against a lot of current and frequent trips through the stream pumps.
The dinos just relocated to new spots they have not liked so far and adjusted to the change.

The impact from these three tests:
Not a dent.
