Intake/Output hoses

Hello. I am setting up a 210 gal tank with (2) FX6 filters. Where is the best place to put the intake and output hoses? I am also going to use a wave maker. Thanks

Wow. That's a nice set up. Lots of filtration and water movement. On my big tanks that have more than 1 can, I just set up one at 1 end on the back, about 1/4 of the way down, and replicated it on the other end with the second one

Thanks. Do you have the outputs facing outwards close to the intakes?

On one tank I have 2 cans with spray bars facing up and away from the back. About 6" from the end of the bar to the intake. On the other, 3 cans, 1 spray bar similar as those 2, then the other 2 just nozzles pointed away and slightly up and they are discharging about 6-8" away from the intakes
