Calling all flow experts! Is this too much???

Hello all, i’m trying to dial in on my flow on my IM Nuvo 20, but I can’t seem to find the sweet spot. How do we think this is?

Id say it looks pretty good.

I’m most likely going to move the hammers and the frogspawn to the rocks above to be with the other two, but if I were to place micromussa and blastomussa merletti where the hammers are right now on the sandbed, wouldn’t that be too much flow?
Thanks!

I think theyd be ok. Dont they have less to blow around than the hammers?

Hmm perhaps, i guess time will tell when I get them

Too much will swim a fish to death and cause the corals not to extend polyps into the tropical storm. Anything less, when the fish can rest without swimming and the corals are extended in the currents is great!

New flow!
My jebao dmp20 is way too powerful for the type of flow i’d like to achieve across the tank if running constantly on random, so it put it to 2.5s on and 2.5s off and it’s creating a pretty nice movement pattern i’d say. Hammers seem to like it much more, tentacle extension longer than before.

Good way to produce 'random' flow.

This new flow looks much better to me. The first post was WAY too much IMO.

Agreed, they seemed to enjoy it much better too. Now, though, I did attach the frags to the rock and it looks to be a bit more turbulent than is ideal? Here are some clips:
