You can't have alot of head loss using a MJ1200. What do you have yours setting at? The max on that pump is 69", so it drops gph drastically once you go up hill.

Is it plumbed correctly so the flow goes in and down the center tube then out under the media and out the side so it lifts the media? How much media are you using, you should start out with about 5 grams or 1/2 spoonfull per 10 gallons of water and slowly work up to 10 grams per 10 gallons or one level spoonfull per 10 gallons or you run the risk of bleaching corals. A lot of people use way too much media for their tank size and it does not tumble well.
