I would like some opinions on the flow of my tank, I have a Sicce 357gph pump on max for my 20g IM. My Clowns tend to stay at the top left of my tank and my other one likes to stay at the back right near the return, they do come out and explore, the smaller one more than the big one but I'm starting to think possibly is this happening because of the flow?

I have two single nozzle returns and a Hygger wave maker on 60% power, when I turn off my return and wavemaker they pretty much start moving around. Curious if this would cause them to go and stay into corners of the tank or if they are just hosting it? I do not have any corals in the tank right now.

Clowns will be clowns! I have around 16,000 gph of flow “sps tank” and they’re fine.. just weird fish lol
I figured it was just a clown will be clown scenario lol but sometimes the way that mf tightly hugs the corner makes me think there is too much flow.
