My tank already has a decent amount of flow but I would like some more. Here is a picture of my tank so you have an idea of the rockwork. Please ignore the algae on the glass at the bottom lol.

I definitely want another powerhead and am thinking 6 or so inches below the overflow box on the right and have it either blowing behind the rock (I have a cave system back there) or having it blow up at an angle so the area my monti garden is starting in would get even better flow.
The left side will have better flow shortly, I am just working on my sump so the return pump isn't on but it normally does 700GPH or so considering pressure loss from the headspace.
