I just added my first fish, a clown, and he’s been hanging out in the back corner for a few days. Maybe I have too much flow? Or is this normal behavior?

I have been running a Sicce 270 gph circ pump with the stock return pump from the Biocube 16. I have both aimed toward the surface and front of the cube, which seems to really create some nice flow without dead spots, and I think it provides some nice air exchange, although I know I need to watch the water levels from evaporation. Any thoughts on this setup?

Pic of my tank is below. Got some soft corals in there too as you will see. They seem to be doing well.

Cool, thanks. I dropped a few pellets in this morning to see if he would eat, and yes, he did.
