Help with recirculating pumps

[KaneH]

I have a 120g DT with a 40g sump. My return pump is 1188gph and I have one Koralia 1500gph power head and one 1150gph power head. Is this too much flow for my soft corals and fish? Also, is the a proper way to aim them so I don't have any dead spots and they aren't blowing my sand and stuff. My tank details are here https://www.reef2reef.com/forums/me...now-im-stupid-laugh-out-loud.html#post1854287.

Looks good to me. Not to much flow, your just over the 20x your water volume for a reef tank. You can point your powerheads at the surface a bit more, to get a bit of better gas exchange, and keep your sand intact more.

Ok. Sounds good. I was hoping that was the case. I'll try aiming them more toward the water. Are there are good controllers/wave makers that my pumps are compatible with. I'd like get a little more movement out of my polyps.

Thanks Reefing Madness. I was looking at that one. I'd like to have one that kept both on and just ramps them up and down randomly. Are there any like that?
