Small gyre in Biocube 32 placement.

Looking for recommendations/ advice or some images of others who have a gyre in their nano cubes trying to dial in the flow. 400 gph return with random flow nozzle on it and 1056 gph mini gyre at 60% 2 seconds on/off pulsing.

I guess the main question is, can you set it strong enough for any corals to be happy, but not so much flow to where your fish are getting blown around?

I don't know much about the modes or flow rate but try putting it on the opposite wall of where your return pump is and place it farther back on the wall to get flow around the back of your rocks. Deadzones tend to form right under return pumps in small tanks since the return pump usually won't flow all the way around and pick that up.

On my BioCubes, I like to split the return nozzle so half breaks the water surface for aeration. If you keep the original single nozzle, I'd use that for surface, and rely on your gyre for flow.

Thanks im gonna try opposite wall flow and dropped it down to 600 gph and flow is great
