In need of some tips or advice for correcting the flow in my tank.

Here’s the equipment I have currently. Tank: 62 gal tideline lagoon AIO
Returns: 2 sicce syncra silent 1.0 (on the lowest setting)
Powerheads: 2 AI Nero 3’s (also as low as possible)

I keep both returns facing each other aimed as high as possible, and both Nero’s opposite each other one on top corner and the other on opposite bottom corner.

I’ve been getting too much flow and can’t keep my torch open without stressing others. Any tips or equipment advice is greatly appreciated.

Try just one Nero?
Or maybe put them both on the same side?
Do they fit on the back glass?

Tough call. This is one area you have to experiment where to place them. Maybe both low?
