I have a new 75 and was looking at my hammer blowing around a bit no matter how I position the two powerheads in the tank also the output from one canister filter has an outflow blowing around. Just wondering if I should take one powerhead out of the tank.
Thanks guys

Why not just turn down the intensity on the powerheads, or are these AC pumps?

You can elevate them up towards the surface and or point them up if you haven’t tried that already.

One on each end should be sufficient. If more is needed, you can add a gyre pump in the center
