Does my flow for my corals look adequate based on where they are right now?


 
Flow looks good to me... maybe back off a bit?
All my flow has 1 speed. My evo has its stock pump and I just have a regular 1 speed wave maker in the corner making a circular flow

I would back the wavemaker down a bit then add a small adjustable wavemaker to the left side for even more randomized flow. I like the hygger mini. It's relatively cheap, packs a punch with diminutive size and is capable of multiple wave and flow patterns. But your flow tank is fine. Reef looks great!

I can look into getting the adjustable wavemaker, where would I put it on the tank. the way I have my flow set up is one return pump on top for top water movement. the other return pointing down the back of the tank towards the wave maker. and then the wave maker in the corner aimed across at the opposite wall to create a circular flow. where would I add the other one, and which direction should I aim it because I need it to be shooting diagonally across the tank like my current one.

also i know as of now my corals are pretty happy. everything is opening up fully. my only issue is, my one torch in the front seems like its tentacles are becoming very thin and skinny. how can I fix that

Maybe from back to front to disrupt the pattern occasionally.
I think what I might do is just replace it entirely. like take out my wave maker rn and put in the adjustable one. and try to find a way to angle it
