Water movement and Power Head placement

sailman · 02-16-2007, 02:59 PM

Ok i have a 90 gal. with the overflow and return in the back left corner with the flow across the top of the tank (Cap 2200 pump). Also i have a MJ 1200 in the Rt. corner midway from top to bottom with the flow to the left of the tank. I have been told that I needed more flow so I picked up one more MJ 1200. So as I'm kind of new to all this where would be a good place for the new MJ? I was thinking on the left side middle with flow to the right. Thanks in advance for the help. Greg
