NEED ADVICE ON LIGHTING AND FLOW

[Freddie Lake]

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE. I HAVE BEEN MESSING WITH MY 36 GALLON BOW FRONT FOR SOME TIME NOW WITH MY LIGHTING AND FLOW. I HAVE NOT FOUND A SWEET SPOT SO I'M REACHING OUT FOR ADVICE. 15"L x 30"W x 23.75"H ARE THE DIMENSIONS OF MY TANK. I HAVE A GEN 2 RADION XR 30 ON TOP WITH THE MOUNT BUT ITS MORE OFF TO THE RIGHT SIDE DUE TO THE SUPPORT RUNNING THROUGH THE MIDDLE. I HAVE 2 MP10 TOWARDS THE TOP AND OFFSET. I WILL POST PICS AND SCHEDULE. PLEASE LET ME KNOW HOW YOU WOULD PROGRAM THE LIGHT AND POWER HEADS. I WILL ALSO ATTACH A PIC OF MY ROCKWORK. I HAVE 4 BTAS IN THE TANK, 1 HAMMER , 1 CANDY CANE (ON THE BOTTOM). I FEEL LIKE ALL THE FLOW IS AT THE TOP OF THE TANK AND NONE ON THE BOTTOM TO MOVE THE JUNK AROUND. THANKS FOR ALL THE HELP!

I would move one to the front and both 2/3rds up from the bottom. I have 1 blowing across the front and another across the back from each end and does a good job of keeping all the detritus suspended. I also use random on the back and pulse on the front. Good luck

I have a MP40 that runs the front and that runs at 40-50 % and the back is a Octo pulse at 50%. I'm not sure on your mp10's , personally I would just play with it (manually) and see what it takes to get a gentle motion started, then go from there. I know a lot of guys use 2 mp's and move the turbulence back an forth. Like one @60 and the other @40 then go back and forth. Look in the Ecotech threads lots of info on this stuff.
