Shelly, do you have the option of running something smaller for a test ?
I don't know what you started off with.
Every tank has it's own 'sweetspot' and I'd like to see you start again from the smaller end.
I suggest this as you say all your critters are being blown around with no end to the storm, per se.
What pump did you start with ?
And for the record, I am not an expert. I am just trying to help
