I have an established 65 gallon reef with a bunch of soft corals and I have a medium flow in the tank I’m running a 2000gph wave maker set to a bit lower, would I be able to get pipefish I just don’t know if I have to much flow

I am not a pipefish expert, but I have kept them in my tanks. I have always kept pipefish in relatively low flow environments because that is how I have seen them in the wild. I am not sure if that would vary on the species. Is there a lower flow section of the tank.

I only have one wave maker on the right side, so yeah the left side would be lower flow I’m pretty sure

You can also adjust the height of the wavemaker as well. Surface agitation will help with the DO levels in the tank, but may also impact the pipefish, so it may be something to experiment with.
