Cannot get correct flow!

You need more pumps.

As corals grow you end up with the issue of corals not getting enough flow. That may not be your issue yet, but if you're struggling to get proper flow before growth things are only going to get much much worse.

for a 4' tank i'd go with 4 pumps. Two on the back, two on the side. And no matter how strong you think they are, you probably need stronger ones. I'm running two 6095's rated at 2500gph each in a 45g cube (50 cube but shorter)

Over 100x flow? You rocking bb there?

I wish I did actually do my aquascape different now to be honest. I have to much of a wall plus centre overflow is a big block where my rocks almost join up to it

No, I have sand. I'm running 2 Tunze 6095 pulsing between 40 and 100% on 10 second alternate pulses, one is at 40% when the other is at 100%, then it switches.

Ah I'm with you. I blow sand storms going above 60 times in my nano cube

The sand at the front of the tank has been swept back, but for the most part I never had any sand storms.

I really enjoy the look when water movement creates a natural shape and pattern in the sand though feels more natural to me. Got photos of it?

Here's a quick cell phone pic. Not a great pic but you can see the sand line behind the coral line lol

I have 5 powerhead/wave makers 1100gph atleast and a strong return line in a 60 gallon frag tank,2'x4x1'h'...very hard to get the correct flow with just 2 wave makers.

I have a 60 with a fx6 on it and having 2 sicce xstream 5000 seem to much take one off and it still seem to much. No matter how i put it. Im all lps and one softie
