what type of powerheads do you have? some powerheads come with attachments ,like an air flow restrictor.

i'm not sure if they sell attachments seperatly,but without knowing the type of powerhead it is.i could'nt help much!
is there anyway you can point it anywhere it won't hit corals directly or blow the substrate away?

get some soft tubing and T or two the size of the outlet for the Powerhead, make a sort of spray bar so the powerhead pushes the flow through 2 or 3 holes instead of a single bold stream

I recently purchased a 20 gal. aquapod knock off to transfer my established tank to. The new powerhead is way too strong. It is beating up all of my corals, no matter where I point it. Is there any way to slow the flow?
