Put a full tank shot up. So I can see what you got going on.

No worries. We will get your flow rocking just right

Ok, here’s a whole tank shot:
(Cyano is doing much better, but I’m still getting a little bit of build up)
The power head is sort of angled near the back of the tank, so the flow reflects off of that and hits the rock work to disperse it.
I was thinking off adding another powerhead on the left side, near the bottom, facing up.
Also, will the extra flow not throw around the fish/coral?

So I have a 20 high and I have created a somewhat circular flow pattern with 2 powerheads. One in the front right corner one in the back left corner. This causes the flow to tend to circulate around the rocks gently and around the whole tank versus creating spots of direct flow.

Are yours adjustable? These aren't. :/
I'm afraid if I add the second one, it will blow the fish/corals out of the water. The one I have in there now is pretty dang powerful.
I wish I would have just saved up and bought a better quality, adjustable one.

Mine are not adjusted, they are full blast. I also have my flow deflecting off the glass to create the flow pattern I want. Here is a quick sketch since I'm at work.Are yours adjustable? These aren't. :/

Ohh ok!Mine are not adjusted, they are full blast. I also have my flow deflecting off the glass to create the flow pattern I want. Here is a quick sketch since I'm at work.
I'll add the other one on the left side, angled towards the glass.
I'll also monitor it for a while, to make sure all is ok.
Another option James, based on Fishy's drawing, I would probably go small variable pump on the back mid, pointing forward with a variable setting. These pumps are smaller and unintrusive to the eye Plus at a random setting, Will give you less circular constant flow and more random flow generation.

That Hygger is the exact one I want.Another option James, based on Fishy's drawing, I would probably go small variable pump on the back mid, pointing forward with a variable setting.

When I get it, I will probably remove one of the powerheads and add that one in.
I am going to ask for this for my birthday, along with cash. I will get this first, and then the other hanna testers that I need.

The calcium test kit is here, but... it's all the way up at our drop box, which is 1/2 mile away from our house.
Welp, guess I'm gonna have to run up there,

Never mind, I’m going to run up and get the test kit first.
