    Powerhead placement question

    Well, there is water in my tank. Only about half full, as I wanted to get my LR and LS before I put a ton of water in it. My question is this: my tank is 2ftx2ft square. I bought 2 maxijet 1200's. Is this overkill? Too much movement? Also, where do I place them? I have one in right now...
