Is My Current To High In My Tank

[TigerOscar11]

I have a 92ltr tank with a filter that has a x10 turnover in the tank.
I have a bronze cory (Albino) in the tank, but i worry the current may be to high for him, he is always at the front of the tank, and he takes a while to swim to the right hand side of the tank, when he gets there he gets pushed back to where he started.
When he tries to swim up, he can only get about 1/3 of the way up the tank

They need to be able to surface or they'll drown in the water. Try bouncing the flow off the glass.

I have the filter facing along the back and it circles around the tank, it mostly dies off in a section before the filter. I have never seen him at the top, not even my mums fish, but he doesnt look to distressed or breathing funny.
 
I have moved the filter to the middle so the current breaks off in two different directions.
 
I took him out of the water for a couple of seconds then put him back and he went and sat on the bottom breathing really fast

Corys don't go that often to the surface and they don't mind some flow at all.
The problem may not be the flow, but how you have positioned the filter outlet.
I have corys in tanks with 10x flow with no problem, but the initial/stronger flow does not directly hit the the substrate, it first goes all along the lenght of the tank, hits the opposite glass, then travels in a weaker state towards the bottom so the corys don't get blown away, and also their food stays still for longer periods.  I've similar setup in another tank, but the flow is from back to front along the surface, then turns back along the substrate from front to back.
 
Try putting some larger flakes or a piece of paper towel and see how the flow travels and try adjusting it. I am not sure what you mean by the filter facing the back, so don't know what to advise in regards to that.

Its along the back piece of glass so its going from the left side of the tank to the right.
I have actually put the filter at the back so the flow hits the front of the tank, it allows the current to go down alot by the time it reaches the other side of the tank, he seems fine now since i took him out then put him back in. I reckon he was having trouble getting to the top. since i last positioned the filter, i have seen him go and get air
 
Thank-you Guys
