Hello, i have 100gallon mixed reef. I will upload photo bellow so you can see the scape. I recently acquired 1 maxspect gyre, 1 nero and 2 other jebaos. With my current mp40, what is your opinion on flow, and what other configuration should i try. Everything i do keeps blasting my lps to hard.Current position of the flow pumps is posted also!

Focus on air water interface at surface of tank.

I am not familiar with the devices that you are using, however, with so much, I would expect more agitation on surface water. Depending on the rest of your biofiltration, it is just adequate.

Consider directing pump discharge to the surface from opposing sides of tank.

I hope you are not using all of those wavemakers at the same time.

What models are they? Obviously the Vortech is a MP40.
But what are the others?

Maybe just a pair of the Jebaos

I have been using the tanksense.app to model my tanks flow. Really good, shows a 3d image specific to your tank and wavemakers
