This is my 20 long, I’m wondering if I need to add more flow. I currently have a topfin pro 50 HOB filter (up to 150gph) and a Fluval CP1 wavemaker (265gph). I have the wavemaker angled at the top to get some current moving, I’m wondering if I could take my second fluval wavemaker and attach it to the other side. My soft coral and LPS have been fine at the bottom of the tank; however, I just got some monti frags to have at the top of the tank and am thinking they may not be getting the flow they will need.

Thoughts?

Pretty gentle on the bottom, i doubt it is going to hurt anything to add the 2nd wavemaker.... Though it is a little hard to tell flow on the rock since theres nothing on it :)

Here is a better video, I had to place coral on the rock work today anyways.

Those bags never stay in place in my tank, they get moved around constantly by the flow. Personally I would add more flow.
 
Added another of the same fluval powerheads (will upgrade to an adjustable one down the road), and it is loads better. Still gonna tweak it over the next few days.

Thanks y’all! 🤠
