Is my water flow too much?

[Zest2night]

Im running a 2000L/h wavemaker in a 6 gallon tank . Im intending to keep basic corals such as mushrooms , polyps and zoas.

I have not added any corals of fish yet but so far the water flow does not seem so bad .. im just afraid it will tear apart my corals when i add them in, any suggestions?

For a 6 gallon tank, your return pump could be sufficient to provide the necessary water movement for basic corals.  You might not even need a wavemaker.  Anyway, 2000l/h is way too strong for a 6 gallon tank.

Wah bro, 2000 litre will be a typhoon! Your sand will fly everywhere. My 20 gallon uses a 1000 l/hr and my poor fish look like they're running on a treadmill lol. Usually just 20 times your tank size is sufficient. So for your case a 100-200 l/hr should be enough

200l/h should be enough for soft corals, 300l/h tops, anything over that is the too much
