I always struggle with this every time I set up a seahorse tank so thought I'd reach out to see if I can get some suggestions. The current seahorse tank is a 72 gallon bowfront. The two powerheads I want to work with are my Vortech and my IceCap Gyre since they both have a low profile. (I have covers for both so no risk of ponies injuring their tails. I know they can handle higher flow in some areas but I also want them to be able to breed so need a portion of the tank where they can do their egg exchanges without the flow being a problem for them. No matter how I arrange my powerheads I always seem to have a dead spot where detrius gathers and/or too much flow where I'm afraid they will get thrown against a rock. I think the biggest challenge is the bowfront since the overflow is off-center so I can't "center" a powerhead on the back wall.
I have played with different positions, different speeds, different settings, etc. Figured I'd call in the troops to help. I do have a bunch of unused powerheads but really trying to reduce how many cords I have in the tank if possible.
Thanks in advance.
