I am currently setting up a softie and lps tank. I put an Icecap FP100 in and keep having the issue of it blowing the sand and creating bare spots. I am using Fiji pink sand. Any help in dialing in the settings to create good enough flow without disturbing the sand would be great!

If turning it down is not enough put some rocks out as a breakwall. This serves 2 purposes one to keep the sand in place and 2 you can put corals on it that you don't want to over take the main rocks, (xenia, gsp, etc.)

I did this with mine cause my hygger gianormo pumps were blowing the sand everywhere...
