I have a standard 75g mixed tank with a couple clowns, softies, lps, and a monti. I've been playing with flow but can't get it "how I like" I guess you could say. I have a wp-25 facing direct from right to left side on w-1, s-1, and it's making a good wave. I also have a koralia 1400 that I took out, and my return is a Jaebo dc3000 (800gph running at about 85% so ~680gph). So all I have going is my wp25 and return. How do you have your 75g setup up and would you mind posting an image or drawing of your flow setup? Thanks!
 
I think you have the right idea. I went with smaller wave in my 125 to give more flow (less time between pulses). If you feel like you need more flow I'd add a 2nd WP25 or just go with single WP40.

Do you have picture of your setup/?
 
This is my current setup. I just moved the wp-25 to the back wall pointing forward at an angle to the front glass. And put in my koralia 1150 on the left glass facing the front glass as well. To where they kind of meet in the middle. This flow doesn't seem too bad.

I like it same as my 75 except no 1150 mine is a 800 with my wp 25 and my anemome and corals seem to be thriving with it
 
Would be interested in checking it out. I changed mine again. I have the jabeo on the side glass and the koralia on the opposite side pointing directly at each other. Still not happy with it. My corals don't seem to like it nor do my fish. And my sand won't settle and I'm getting big wash outs.
