Too Much Flow???

I just purchased a Tunze Turbelle NanoStream Pump 6025 and set up on my 29g biocube. After assembling it and positioning it, i turned it on. Now it seems like there is way too much flow going on. I have a stock pump in the back third chamber and the only additional flow is this nanostream. Do others use this pump on their biocubes and if so, how is it positioned and can the flow be tweeked. Also, is there just too much flow in the tank? Thanks.

Im not familiar with those pumps but isnt there a way to turn down the flow? I upgraded my stock pump and added 2 addititional power heads to my tank and with the ablility to decrease their flow rates I have no dead spots in my tank and the flow is perfect.

Too much flow is dependent on what you are keeping. That is a perfectly reasonable amount of flow for a tank of tightly woven sps corals, but a hammer coral isn't going to like the environment without something to shield it from the direct flow.
