Flow and headaches

[IanJ]

Just set up a new tank 48” x 27” x 24” for sps and having a real headache getting the flow right. I have a wavebox which I placed on one end towards the front so that it gets a clear path to the opposite side. Anywhere else and it pulses onto the sides of the sps damaging the sps. I also have a TS707 and a 6080.
Where ever I place either of these I am also facing too much direct flow onto the corals.
Since this is a barebotton tank, can I place the 6080 on the bottom to keep the bottom free of dirt and the TS07 on the same side as the wavemaker at the top?
Would just a wave box and a TS07 give enough flow to successfully keep sps or should I consider another TS07 ?

One other issue is the 6080 and TS07 intermittently throw out air bubbles that get mashed up really fine in the wavebox, The case is in the correct position, how to rectify this?

Any suggestions to try are welcome

Thanks

Sorry, that should be TS12 and not TS07

I think you have more than enough flow. Bubbles usually indicate a high KH or high photosynthetic activity. You may need to adjust the light interval or water chemistry to eliminate the bubble problem. To deflect the flow aim from the back to the front glass, the corals will eventually acclimate to this flow but that is very high flow for such a small aquarium so I would expect some difficulties.
