I have a Aqua One Mini Reef 160, which has a mix of lps & softies. Im just struggling to get flow that im happy with inside the tank. I am currently running 2 Jebao SW-4 Wave makers and a Jebao DCP 4000 return pump (@ 70% power). The tank has an overflow in the corner of the tank, so what position should i place the wave makers and do i need more flow?

Kind of hard to see the wave makers I’m assuming they are in the back at the top? Or are you talking about your powerheads on the side is your only flow? Looks like you have some issues at the front with flow being too high. My suggestion would be to lower the wavemakers and point them up. Move the powerheads to either side of the tank and point them down. Not easy to help when we can’t see what exactly is pushing flow and where it’s flowing.
