10x turnover for your tank would be 750…
you’re pushing 3000 gallons.

that’s 40x…. for softies.
 
I have a standard 75g with 2x MP40 with only sps and I have to run them in anti-sync gyre mode otherwise they’re too much flow. This must be crazy turbulent in the middle unless you have them in the back glass or something.

I have one along the back glass middle down and the other in the front on the opposite side a little higher, both are on continuous flow low setting.
 
Unless you have them in constant mode always then that screenshot just shows their current speed in the schedule right now - If you want people to check out your settings then the screenshot you want to post is the one of the schedule of the pump throughout the day....... Just saying - Not much to comment on a screen grab of the current speed only.

For a 75g softy with 2 MP40's id be going a mixture of reef crest - lagoon - alternating every 2 hours and probably no highter than 30% ish, but thats without knowing placement, rockwork etc.
