So, attached is my highly professional diagram of my tank. How should I be placing my Jebao Gyre and AI Nero3 wavemaker here?

The tank is 120cmx50x50cm (whatever that converts to in inches I leave to the discerning reader), the AI currently sits about 15-20cm below the surface (is that 8 inches?), the Jebao Gyre sits just low enough to not create vortices on the water surface. I am just curious if this placement makes sense.

Note that my pump output has 2 nozzles pointing out to the sides creating some flow in the dead zones either side of the rather large overflow box.

Thanks for any input!

Fair point. The rockwork stretches the whole tank, and I have 3 separate "hills" that run down the middle of the tank.

If probable place the gyre to flow horizontally over the tip of your rock and the Nero opposite but lower. Will depend on your rockwork though. Alternatively the gyre vertically behind you rock to avoid dead spaces. Random chaotic flow. With some slower areas for fleshy LPS.
