I have 2 sicce voyager 3 1200 gph, one on each side of the tank. 90 Gallon both at the top. And my return flowaim towards the bottom. Should I put one of my powerheads at the bottom?

What i understood is:

90 gallon tank

2 sicce's (one on each side) at the top
1 return pump

My suggestion would be to lower both sicce's towards the middle of the tank so it also helps pick up waste.

As a point of reference, on my 90 gallon i had:

*I HAD* 2 x 900 gph koralia's on each side and it was too little, tank had too much waste and started growing GHA.



*Now i have*

1 maxijet 1200gph at the bottom on the left side (this one will most likely be removed soon, this was there before the nero 5)

1 nero 5 (3000 gph) running at 95% at night and at random percentages throughout the day. Also on the left side.

2 koralia's (900 gph x 2) on the right side pushing water on the rear glass (eventually these will be replaced by another nero 5)


Eventual plan is 2 nero 5's, one on each side. (3000gph x 2... running at 95% wave mode at night and anywhere from 5% to 95% throughout the day in wave mode)... i may also keep the 2 koralia's in if required.

Fish waste just sits on my sand bed. It doesn't look great. Maybe I need more cuc?

You need more flow!!!!
