Wavemaker too strong for Clowns?

[Adam_1992]

So I’ve just bought two clowns and popped them into my newly cycled tank. I noticed as soon as I put them in there they were swimming against the current and look like they are struggling a little.

I’ve tried moving my wave maker around but I’m not able to fix it right or to lower it.

Clowns are now hiding in a helmet ornament I’ve got in there.

Any advice guys? Is the wave maker too strong or am I just being paranoid? Do I need to even use a wave maker?

Any way of dialing down output?
