Here's how I have mine. One is at about 10 o'clock, the other at about 7 o'clock the third at 2 o'clock. If that makes sense. I also get circulation from a Whisper 3 that only has a carbon bag in it and a return from my refugium.
Keep water moving throughout and I don't seem to have any dead spots. Each tank though is different based on rock work and such.

Good Luck!

great subject!! I have some old powerheads that I would like
to use but have nothing to use as a "filter" on them. Any
ideas where I can get them? I don't want the bottom just open
would like some sort of filter on them
