Struggling to find a spot where the flow is equally opposite in my tank.

Torch polyps seem to lean towards on side.
I’m concerned that the flow could maybe ‘peel’ the other side of flesh up thus causing bail out.

It would depend on how strong the flow really is, but in general i personally would avoid a spot that just blows the polyps over instead of having them sway
 
I’ve countered the one directional flow by angling my random flow generator more diagonally across the surface.

I had the return pump facing straight and the wave maker on the opposite side pointing back. It was all one big clockwise movement.
This seems to have sorted it.
