I have a 72gl tank i have 2 powerheads a maxi jet 1200 and a seio 820.
Where is the best location to put them..
Currently on the left side i have the seio its in the back corner facing the front jet is aimed aobut 45 degrees towards the middle and up ward. it is about 1/2 to 2/3 down from the top.
the right side i have the maxi jet on the back wall same distance down bloing against the back wall towards the seio powerhead in the other corner.
above the maxi jet the water does not ripple much at all almost stagnant.
should i raise both pump heads up and have them break the surface water?
but, if i have them up that high dont you need movement on the tank floor.
I have a ecosystem 60 hob filtration that pumps out water on the top also it is more to the left side of the tank.
Another side quetion would be: Do you run your lights on the hang on back refregium 24/7 or turn off at night. Most of the time i run it all night but, some times to get the effect of my blue lights i turn it off. lil help please.. thankx
