I have a 56l tank that is still rather new, just under the 3 month mark. I'm thinking of shaking up the flow in the tank.

This is the tank at the moment, excuse the various algae and bacteria problems. All a work in progress.

My current flow setup is a AI Nero3 going at 5,000 lph. I have it set on pulse, 5 seconds on, 1 second off.
On the other side of the tank, I have the outlet for my fluval 7 canister filter, which is 500 lph.

I'm thinking of adding another AI Nero 3 to the setup.

Now, is this going to be overkill for a nano tank?
If I add another powerhead, what kind of settings should I use? Should I have them both constantly crashing againt 1 another or have some sort of pulse going?
What kind of lph should I run them at?

I appreciate any feedback.
 
I like random pulse as never focuses on any one area.

Another on the opposite side seems best.
