Hi, I have a 37 gallon cube style aquarium with around 50lbs of live rock. I’m running one marine orbit wave maker at 660 gph with a flow style of a wave. Then I also have a 530 gph powerhead at a constant flow. I’ve currently got Xenia, GSP and a green bubble tip. I wanna add sps and lps corals in the near future. My GSP isn’t saving around like I see in a lot of other peoples tanks but my Xenia waves around crazy and I’m just scared that one coral might like a lot of flow but one might hate it and die. Also I feel that my placement of power heads is wrong I just feel that I can’t find the right placement or even if I have enough flow. I’m going to leave pictures below of my setup. Any help would be much appreciated! Thank you.

Drop an airstone in your tank and see where the bubbles go and where they don't and use that to aim your powerheads.

A limewood stone works best if you have one because they make microbubbles.
