I recently added 2 Jecod 9's to my setup and I've been trying to get the flow right.

I added a torch coral and another duncan yesterday and I'm concerned

This is my tank with just the return pump set to 75%, which should be about 2600 lph.



Now with the Jecod MOW 9's on. Both are at 30% (lowest setting) on pulse mode. They're 9000 lph wavemakers, so I'm assuming they are down to about 2700 lph.
I've been trying to set up some sort of anti-sync for wave mode, but not having any luck.



The torch and the duncan seem to be taking a bit of a pounding.

This is the pump layout. I've got both MOW's slightly off centre from each other.

What can I try with my setup?
Should I send the MOW's back and get smaller wavemakers?
Is my return pump o.k at 75%?
 
On flow 3 it looks a little low flow, I would probably turn it up.
On flow 4 it looks good except the torch flow pulls constantly to one side, I would try to get a back and forth sway.
So I would try to combine the flow randomness of flow 3 and the intensity of flow 4. IMO, good luck
 
Change of plans.

Removed both MOW 9's, even on their lowest setting they seem too powerful. I've put in the Nero 3 from my old tank.



How does the flow look now?
Is there too much on the duncan?
