It’s upset since I dipped it and I just added it to my tank today. Ignore the micro bubbles too since I was messing with my return pump as well. I have the spin stream return pumps and for a brief second it aims the flow towards the frogspawn. Is this going to be a problem or do you think this is fine? I do have a Nero 3 across the front of the tank. Thanks for your help in advance.

I do have an MP10 I am not using that I could put across from the Nero 3 in the front of the tank to probably add some push back from having the Nero 3 and MP10 facing each other in the front of the tank.




This is a shot of the tank. I could add the MP10 where the food defroster is across from the Nero 3 and I think that would push flow towards the back of the tank maybe balancing things out? Thoughts?

Its a teeny bit more than I would like, the movements on the polyps is a little too sharp, should be a little more gentle IMO. sorry, I know its a pita to fix to the flow, good luck
 
I agree with Mojo. Mine is in pretty high flow but has pauses. See how it does after a couple of days and move if it doesn't look happy. Here are a couple of videos of mine for reference.

How about now? If it’s too little flow I can add the MP10 access the from Nero 3 I ended up creating the great rock tower with superglue and a dream lol

That looks really good to me.
