Gryes are excellent for moving water down the length of tank. I have one on the opposite end of overflow, with one sided aimed toward surface and other side aimed diagonally across tank. That results in plenty surface agitation and flow across sand. The 2nd is positioned vertically next to overflow with one side blowing into rocks by overflow and the other aimed diagonally across tank. A couple jabeo on back wall (in pulse mode) keep water sloshing back and forth, and a pair of mp60s on the ends opposing each other for random turbulence. The returns aim for corners and slow area in the middle behind rocks.
 

Freshwater filter only or is it? Have you ever used an HOB filter on a saltwater tank?
