Mixed reef requires a different flow requirement to keep coral happy. I run constant at 40% and pulse on gyre unit. You have to play with percentage settings until you reach desired movement.
I can tell you 40%, Harry says 60 and paul says 50 but it is dependent on Your tank size and amount and type of coral in which you house
