Proper flow and flow patterns for 10g Fish and LPS/softies tank.

[Unodostrace]

So I have a 10g that has 10lbs of live rock and 10lbs of live sand. I just got my first coral (Duncan Frag) and it says low to medium flow for it.

I have the frag in the bottom of my 10g tank that’s currently running a aqua clear 50( about 150-200 GPH) and two Koralia nano’s (~240 GPH a piece). That’s about 650-700 GPH. Is that going to be too much flow/movement for corals like Duncan’s or Frogspawn/Torch?

I just don’t want to blow them away if they like low flow. I’m running just one Koralia and the AQ on low flow with the lights off to acclimate the Duncan.

That’s a lot of flow for a lps/softy tank. 1 power head is good

So should I just aim the power head on the right towards the outflow from the AQ to disrupt the laminar flow?

Should I even have the 2nd powerhead run at all?

I have a timer that I can set in half hour intervals. I was thinking of running the second power head for like 30 every 4-6 hours or so just to add some more chaotic flow.
