I've just started keeping two tenuis and one Bali slimer for the first time. I'm wondering if the current flow in my tank is appropriate. Could you please help me check?

1. Tenuis


2. Tenuis


3. Bali slimer
 
The camera focuses on the frag, so its hard to judge, but the polyps are barely moving, they can take more flow. IMO
 
I aim for making the polyps look like long grass flowing with the wind in a field. Don’t directly blast them, have pumps flow collide with each other and it helps if you have adjustable pumps.

I’ve had the best results with an oversized pump on wave mode with short pulses of 0.5-1 second on and 1-2 seconds off. Currently I have a 3000gph Nero 5 in my 32 cube pulsing this at 75% power, and it’s been perfect.
