Hi!
I just got my Hydor Koralia Nano 240 Powerhead. Where should I place it for most beneficial water circulation? I have 2 aquaclear 30 HOB filters as shown in the photo. Water is cloudy because my two spot goby has been sifting sand. Thanks.

From what I've read and plan to do, it's suggested to put them on opposite sides of the tank facing into each other or diagonal into each other to create a good flow/current. I've got one in my 10g reef and another on the way. I'll be setting mine up this way and they're both the sames ones that you have. Nice and quiet, too. I found one at Petco yesterday for $40, but ordered mine from amazon for $27. I win!
You have one power head. Your going to play around a little to find a good spot. You can try on the left side (if your facing the tank) up towards the top and angled towards the middle of the tank hitting the glass.
What size tank do you have? I think I'm have circulation issues in my 5 gallon and was considering the Hydor 240. Is that too much power for a 5 gallon? Is the flow adjustable?
Ok good! Ya I was looking at the Hydor 240 vs the aquatop ph-16 which are roughly the same GPH but the aquatop comes with a air regulator too.
How much was the Hydor -240 because the aquatop is $15 with free shopping on truaqua today. The only thing is the aquatop doesn't have an adjustable head. Do you think that is a big factor?
I have a fluval spec v with a small pump in it already that I can kind of direct. Would it be better to get the air regulator or just to get the adjustable flow?
Ok cool! Thanks for your help! So do I point each of the pump/ power head directly at each they or should I make the flow in a circular pattern?
They always tend to rate higher then actual real life. I could breath heavier then those nanos. I went with a single MP10. Best thing I ever did ( to the tank that is) well... That and the lights.
Honestly I can say I never heard of those lol
Lol. I hadn't either till this evening. It was a good balance between a $35 Aqueon and $200 wave maker. Was $54. Got it at Jim's Exotic Fish. The sucker is powerful and quiet. Very happy with the purchase. Hydor 240 going to get listed for sale on eBay.
