Hey everyone. I have 2 maxspect gyre 350s and a mp40. I originally had 2 of the 350s on opposite ends of the tank but it seems too strong. And i recently redid the rockscape so i just used one gyre on the right side middle. The mp40 i got recently to test out and have it currently on the upper back left side of the tank. Even at 50% on random pulsing on the gyre. It feels like my corals are getting blasted. Is there a better placements for the gyres or mp40? Should i place the mp40.in the back wall? Or is my rockspace too high and i should remove some rocks? Please help

One in back center and one on each end as mentioned for positive flow and gyre effect
 
I would keep the gyre top left and right and put your mp bottom front or back on a random flow . Your top rock in the middle will get pounded . Good place for some sticks.

In the back as in the back wall? Also what position should i adjust the return flow nozzles? Pointing down?

slightly towards the surface to keep surface movement and oxygen exchange
