Hi, and welcome to the forum!!'
I keep my powerheads at opposite sides of the tank attached to the side glass. I aim them at each other and towards the rocks so it creates a chaotic flow.
Not sure where you would put the other PH, maybe on the side where your return isn't?
Hope that helped a bit!

In my new 125g I will be running 4 powerheads, I figure I'll put 2 on each side glass. Maybe you can messa round with them and see where the flow is needed most. When I put in fish food I can see how my flow goes based on where the food goes. LOL If it starts to build up anywhere theres a dead spot. Me and my stupid tests.
Maybe mount twop on one side, one near the back glass and one near the front glass, you have the depth on that tank to do that.

It's the same as any forum, upload pictures to a web hosting site, photobucket for instance, then select the image code of the pic you want to display, copy and paste into your post.
