powerhead question

[sean112280]

I have a 72g BF and I was just trying to get a better idea on powerhead placement for good flow. I have 2 hydor koralia 2's. Right now i have on on the left side on the back glass pointed towards the middle of the front glass. The second on is on the right side glass placed a lil more then half way down the glass pointed straight along the back wall. my return line is pointed towards the center and up for surface agitation. Any ideas would help.

Thanks
Sean

Chaotic flow is best. This is when two or three PH`s are pointing at each other. Also have them pointed slightly up for some aeration.

ok so i should point them at each other is what you are saying?

this is a rough sketch of what i have now. Is this ok?

I have my two returns pointing straight at each other.

my return is the one in the center. should I have my 2 powerheads pointed at each other then?

Here are some drawings for proper flow although alot has to do with how you have your tank arranged.

I went with option 1 for now to see if that will work out. Thank you for the help
