    Are there such things as slatwater flow meters? All the ones I find say not for use with corals and inverts. I'm assuming there are copper parts involved?

    You could always just pull out the pump from your system and run the flow meter off the pump outlet using freshwater. Take your measurement, then put it back on your system after you test it.
