Hi, I have this 50 gallon aquarium which is a jewel Lido 200.
I added the protein skimmer a couple of weeks ago and I have a big issue with micro bubbles that will hopefully go away at some point.
But I was wondering if my water flow is the issue. The tank came with a pump that was around 158 gph but I added the nanostream on the left that's 1175 gph and the one on the back that's 475. Is that creating too much of a current?
Ever since I added the torch coral I have moved the pumps all over the place, pointed them to all directions to ensure there is not too much current around the bottom but I'm still not sure, and I was also thinking of getting a wave maker at some point.
What do you think?

If the pumps aren’t going around the sand that is your key indicator that you have too much current
