Too much flow?

[Mini Coop]

So - I have 2 clowns in my new 180. I have 2 overflows in the back of the tank. The clowns have mostly heeen hanging by the overflows and not out and about. I have a lot more open space than they are used to. I also have a gyre on one side, running a pulse between 10, 20 or 30%. And an MP40 on the other running at about 30 %. The MP40 is a little closer to the surface to help with surface agitation.

Is this too much flow or are they still adjusting?

I think they are still adjusting. That sounds very much like clown behavior to me

Yep, mine stayed in the back corner for a few days to a week before they started exploring. I still haven't seen the male on the right side of the tank at all lol!

Clowns are so goofy. There you are with that huge tank and they are hanging out in one spot. Typical. LOL

Yeah my clowns very rarely venture away from their corner of the tank!

Ok! Thank you! Makes me less worried. They had started exploring quite a bit in my 120 after a year. I just don’t remember them hiding quite so much. Sometimes they are on the same side, and sometimes they split up. Lol.
