Is this too much flow for a torch?

[vcomreefer]

Is this too much flow for my new torch? I have a reefwave 25 in a IM 50g INT. This is my only wavemaker (+return pump) in the tank. I have it set to 20% forward on the far left of the tank for 7 minutes then 20% for 2 minutes. Attached is a photo showing the wavemaker placement. The torch sits directly beneath the wavemaker so it only gets direct flow when going in reverse.

(P.S. Sorry about the nosy clown lol)

No, looks good

I think flow is slightly high and it needs to be multi direction random speed. Also your tank looks brand new. Euphyllia can be difficult corals in a new tank.

Any ideas on how to improve flow in a tank with just the one gyre?

The return pump provides constant flow perhaps aim the gyre to oppose in a 5 sec on 5 sec off wave.

Randomize the flow. Seems too direct.

I would just try to randomize it with the return nozzle as mentioned above. Keep in mind you want good surface ripple to for gas exchange.
