How much flow for a BTA?

I'm running about 80x turnover in the display (sump is a lot less). The pump is a gyre on pulse, so there's a lot of randomness. Too much for a BTA?

Mine actually moved so it was directly in front of the pump so it depends on the bta

BTA will move around the tank until THEY, find a spot they like.
