Clown fish (too much flow?)

[agREEFs]

Hello, I have a 44 gallon tank. It’s a new set up and I started out with 2 clownfish. They are small and it seems like flow with the wave maker is too much. I have a fluval 307 which also generates flow. When I turned on the wave maker it seemed like they had a hard time swimming. When I turned it off they seemed happier. What should I do?

Anything else in the tank that requires a wave maker?

First lets determine flow- Can you provide at least 20 second video of the clowns under white lighting ?

Not yet, but I will have coral and other fish in a week or 2.

agree to post a video if you can. Our tanks cannot match the flow that is in the ocean.
