Hello fellow Cubers,

I am looking for suggestions on flow placement within my cube tank. It is a 120 gal cube. 34x34x20. I have a mixed reef and I am trying to establish some sort of flow in there that makes my corals happy. currently I have 2 WAV pumps, one on the side and other on the back left wall. I feel that my hammer corals are just getting blasted with flow even though it is on low and seems like they are just getting blown back from water hitting the front of the aquarium. Any suggestions on setting to use to get the sway movement in there so the soft corals can swing back and forth and not feel the wrath of the flow?

maybe theres alot of turbulence from those two pumps meeting in the front right corner. maybe take the back top right pump and put it in the back bottom left?
