I just purchased a RBTA. After acclimating and setting it on the rock work of my 20g IM with no pumps on its foot attached. I turned my pumps back on and it is blowing around like crazy. It is still attached and I know they will move to where they find most desirable BUT does my nano tank have too much flow for him? It has a 425 gph and a 565 gph pump along with return from back chamber pump. Is this too much?
 
It’ll find a flow it likes but that sounds like a ton of flow for a 20

Would you think that turning off the 425 and just going with the larger pump along with the return pump (which I think is around 200 gph) would be alright?
