Filter intake

[Rocket2001]

I have two filters on my tank one is a Fluval 303 canister the other is a Aqua Clear HOB. My question is... where is the ideal place to set the intake tubes for these... the bottom..middle or top of the tank. Logic tells me bottom but I'd like to hear from the experts!

Put at least one down close to the bottom of the tank. Waste sinks and is more likely to get collected there. I run one filter intake right close to the bottom, and a second on I place halfway up the tank next to the heater, so it collects the warmed water and spread it around the tank.

i run 2 whisper30/60 and have 1 intake at bottom and 1 halfway down...with 1 filter i keep intake at bottom

I agree with grimlock3000.

That is they same way I set my intakes.
