need help with my powerheads

I just recently bought a maxi jet 600 for my 29 gal and I am wondering where and how to position it. How did u guys do yours? Also should I keep
the jet pointed up towards the surface or straight across the tank?

i put mine in the corner going across the lr at an angle back left across to front right you also might want to put in another opposite corners where in tx?

Lindale Tx. Thanks. I have it in the back of the tank shooting straight across right now.

Sounds cool. I just have CC, 5 1/2 pounds of LR that maxi 600 and the filter that came with the tank. I also have 3 perc clowns that are doin real good so far. I am planning on getting more LR when I get some money. I was a little scared about putting them in there so early like I did but I finally got the parameters all worked out and everything seems good. Those clowns are real cool and they went through alot so far. Real tough.

you are going to want to get rid of the cc substrate and go to ls if you read through these forums you will agree the ls is much better if you do decide to take it out vaccuum the area real good and only take out a couple of nets worth at a time once a week or so

That is what my LFS recommended when I was setting up the tank. At the time I really did not no anything at all about saltwater. I have learned alot since then though and I wish I did have sand in there.
