Ok so in the picture down below are 2 Koralia 1050s. One in the back right corner, one in the front left corner. Then on the back is a HOB skimmer, a Bak-Pak Dual Pak. It has 2 outtakes so I really dont knwo what their GPH is. Then to the left is the outake of the cannister filter. I feel like there is way too much current, or maybe I am just pointing the 1050s and such in the wrong direction. Please I need all advice!

cant really have too much flow but IMO i would put those power heads lower in the tank facing up. this will help keep debris on the bottom of your tank in the water column so it gets taken away by your filtration.

 

[lennyd4]

you think they should be lower then they already are ?

 

[Rockadile]

yeah. i think it was a talk by calfo that said those types of power heads do the most good near the bottom of the tank pointing up. one of the main reasons is as I stated. to help keep debris in the water column so it can get taken by your skimmer and other filtration.
