Can I get a flow check for my tank? All corals seem to be doing good, so I don't think I need to change anything, but I thought I would ask. I would love to see more of a swaying motion, but cannot figure out how to balance the pumps to create that.

I have a Varios4 running at 80% (~800gph), a MP10 running between 75-100% (~1000gph), and an MP40 running 0-5% (~1700gph). MP10 is on the left, MP40 on the right, return on the left. Mostly run lagoon mode, a period of tidal swell in the morning and period of nutrient transport at night.

If you want a visible standing wave, you’ll want to anti-sync your MP pumps on short pulse mode. However, this would purely be for your visual enjoyment and if your corals are happy, I’d leave it be

Your corals will let you know and keep you informed of correct flow. They always do.
Everything looks fine to me I wouldn't go wacky with anything if it were me.
