Too much flow? Just added fish

[WallyTime7]

Hello! Just cycled my tank and added two small clown and a tang yesterday.
My wave maker is where it’s highlighted and my fish seem to gravitate on the right side of the tank.
Is this because my flow is too high?
also the side of the tank where I fed them thus far but haven’t seen them swim over on the other side at all yet.
just curious if i need to turn my wave maker horizontal or tuned down.

Give them some time. You just put them in a new environment. Try feeding in the opposite side. They will settle in and find there home. In my 1000g tank I have a pair of clowns that I have never seen go passed the middle of the tank. It's been like 8 years. They are just happy where they are at. My tangs swim back and forth the entire tank all day. They will be fine

Can't really see it. What brand are you using? Only 1 on the backwall? Fish live in the ocean where current is much stronger then our tanks.

You want to make sure you have a nice back and forth ripple across the surface. This helps with gas exchange and 02 in the tank.

All good tips and suggestions
I have a RedSea Wavemaker 25, 50% random raves. I split the heads to go left and right of my back rock for more flow

Is that a reefer 250? I have the XL300 and tried one wave pump to start but the flow was to one directional so I got 2 pumps running anti sync from each other.

Moderate light and water flow

Yeah it’s a 250

Added a pic of top water current ripple and size of my maker

Seems sufficient as long as you have good surface agitation and sand not blowing around. When I had one MP40 to start my clown fish stayed on one side not swimming the tank. When I added the second MP40 and anti sync the fish swam the whole tank then

It looks good. Tough to tell in a pic. Let's put it this way I don't think it's too much current for the fish.
