I just got two koralia evo 1050s and was wondering how I should place them in my tank. I have a 55 gallon 50 pounds of live rock with a clown, anemone and a frag of star polyps.. Any ideas. I put up a picture of my tank.

I would put on on the right facing up to the over flow box and another on the other side facing In front of or over the rocks
 
My return pump is pretty strong and agitates the water. Do you think I should still point it up?
 
Nice tank man, here is mine so you can get an idea on the koralias have the same thing

I have my return pump facing down and my power head facing up facing the over flow box
Like put it in the middle of the side and put it where it's pointing to the over flow
 
These guys might be to powerful for my tank. I accidentally unplugged my return pump and a bunch of crud came out. Other than that what do you think?

I have a 1300 and it blows my sand everywhere. You guys know how to solve that? It's in a 55g also.
 
Put them lower in the tank and face them up and they look good
 
Alright I did that and it's looking pretty good. Nice circulation and agitation of water. Thanks for the help!
 
I think it should be fine mine is ok I just don't have them facing down to the sand or into corals
