Should I change my flow?

[zdrc]

Newly set up 12 gallon aquapod (an AIO) running a 210 gph return. I plan on keeping softies and easy LPS. Should I increase flow with a power head or should I change the flow pattern? Right now there is no kind of re-direct. I've attached a little video, hopefully that will give some idea of the flow pattern.

I've been thinking about getting a vivid aquatics random flow generator?

No video, but I'd put a wave maker in it possibly a nero3 if you can find one.

Very nice live rock and start.
I would put a ow-10 opposite the return. They have a nice controller with several functions. I run a ow-25 on my nano cube at 100% but its bare bottom and mostly sticks.
A small Tunze would also be a good choise.

That seems like a lot of flow for a 12 gallon (like 100x turnover)? If I keeping just softies and LPS do I really need flow like that? I was thinking just a few hundred gph additional.
