I’ve got a 29g long reef with two HOB filters, a Voyager Nano, a Max Flow CPS-1, and a Hygger gyre for flow. Everything kinda ends up blowing my corals to the left because of the gyre’s circular flow. Would it be better to add a second gyre and ditch the other pumps, or should I look at a completely different pump that lets me dial in the flow and pattern to push against the Hygger’s flow?

That’s what I’ve been doing but my only
Problem is my flow is mostly pushing my corals to the left instead of both ways which I feel is what I see happening on most tanks
 
No photos attached to see the placement
