Tank flow vs filtration

[Tiger-army]

So I have a 150gal tank. It's filter is a fx5. I'm going to throwing one more filter via aqua 750 on it but my dilemma is. I put a very large piece of woo I the tank and it catches alot of debri so I feel like the flow of the tank is being drastically backed up from the wood so I put in a fan rated 1,200 gph. And it's working decent my problem is on the opposite Side the water dosnt flow as fast cuz the wood in the middle should I get another fan blowing the other way? Or am inputting way to much current in my tank? It's got CL. A dat and 5 discus. All of whom do not seem to mind the current amount of flow

I've had too much flow in a tank before - it was a small sump, quick cycle over and lots of internal flow - I would have reduced the amount of flow and also not done too much flow again - but i took the tank down

discus dont like that much flow anyway

I'd be careful because if u buy a product you wont notice too much flow initally, but the fish could get tired of it over a period of time - especially low flow fish

Your clown loaches will love the current, your discus not so much. With big bits of wood in the tank you're always going to end up with dead spots somewhere, try reposition the wood and experiment with the "fan" (powerhead?) in different places.

Ya iv been trying its a pain haha
I was thinking maybe I can creat a cure t around the edges and then slow it in the center for the discus but easier said then done
