Need help. I've got a Penn Plex Marlin OCF15 and just added a Marineland Magniflow C360 for my 110g. I'm driving myself and my fish nuts with fooling with the direction of flow. Should I have one going across the back and the other across the front? I've never used more than one canister at once so guidance would be great. Thanks
 
I think you would want them set so that they promote flow and not work against each other. What you described sounds like it would be a circular flow. Flake foods often are good indicators of current in the tank.

I can definetly see the circular flow on the surface of the water and when I put floating food at the top. More specifically, I was thinking regarding how it effects the intake points. Maybe I'm just over thinking? But I don't want the 2 canisters working against eachother?
