I just set up a 120g tank. Trying to get everything running smoothly. I cant get my flow to work well for me. I am hoping to do SPS down the road but right now I mainly own LPS and zoa's.

I am trying to get the higher section in the tank higher flow and the lower section low flow so my euphyllia's are not getting annihilated all day.

I didn't buy huge powerheads they are the Jebao SW-8's. I have them on the back wall angled pretty heavily so they are blowing across the length of the tank and not the front glass. I have them angled up a bit. Ive been adjusting my returns a bunch trying to figure them out. I have them down in the water and angled up a bit as well angled out a bit from the center.

Not sure. Ill add some pictures below and I am going to try and add a video if possible. Maybe the flow is not too much? I dont know still pretty new to all of this.

Note the Octospawn on the left just got added so its pretty sucked in. The Frogspawn on the right is a small piece I got to try and test it for a bit. Its been in for a week or so.

Scratch that the video quality was terrible. Pic quality isnt great either....

 
Im thinking about moving the Octospawn up 1 level and see if bringing it away from the glass and into the middle will help it.
