I am trying to rearrange my powerheads so theyre not directly blasting my rocks so when I place corals on the rockwork they arent beat on constantly.
I have one acro frag on the rocks but the side of it that was facing the MP40 seemed to be turning white which made me thing it was getting hit with too much direct flow.
The tank is a Cade 1500 so roughly 60x24x24. My current setup is two MP40's and 2 MP10's. The MP40's are set on anti sync reef crest at 100% during the day and then dropping to 75% at night. The MP10's are set to constant reef crest at 75% (the glass is too thick and if i set it higher the vibrations make the wet sides fall off so I lowered them to 75%).
Each side of the tank has an MP40 and an MP10 on it with them offset with the MP10's slightly lower to get flow lower down near the sand in front of and behind the rockwork.
The MP40's are up higher in the tank, 6-8" below the surface of the water. I recently moved the MP40 on the far side of the tank in this pic closer to the front of the tank so it wasnt blowing directly on the rockwork as much but I am unsure of where I could place the MP40 shown in the picture for better flow without blasting the rocks in front of it.
(The tank isnt actually this read im not sure why the lighting showed up this way...)
Here is a ****** paint drawing of how they are placed on both sides of the tank.
Does any one have any suggestions on how I can better position these?
