I have a 60.2 as stated, currently on the tail end of what was originally planned to be an LPS/softy but not leaning on creating more of an SPS tank, the top half of it anyways. I’m currently running ReefOcto Pulse 2’s and just can’t seem to get flow where it should seemingly be. The pumps are on either side pointed up. I’m getting very narrow flow since it’s a fairly small tank and doesn’t have an opportunity to broaden out.

That said, I do have 2 more OP2’s I can add to my WaveEngine, but thinking 4 pumps in that tank is overkill? Any recommendations on pumps, setup, and placement? Thanks… pic attached to get an idea of scape. The heliofungia is no longer there btw.

One/two on the back.
Maybe a timer on both directions, left and right 1 hour, back for an hour, then both off an hour, then repeat.

Unless they are controllable on their own.

Provides intersecting patterns of flow

They’re on a WaveEngine now and can power 4 of them. Are you saying to add 1-2 on the back wall in conjunction with the 2 on the sides?
 

Looking back to your reefing roots: Did you start with Instant Ocean salt?
