Hi everyone.

I recently did a tank transfer to a prostar 60 which is a 42 gallon display cube.
I have 2 nero 5's on the back wall, i know they are overkill but I wanted something I could transfer to a bigger tank in the future, i currently run them on random 1-35%

I wanted some input on placement while considering the aquascape.

I currently have them on the back wall at different heights. I am trying to avoid blasting my sps with direct flow, but now I have one of the neros pointing directly at a rock which I find might not do much in therms of flow?

Any input would be appreciated!

Tonight when you feed, turn off your return pump but leave the Nero's on. Saturate some powdered foods, ground flakes, or something with a small particle size and use a turkey baster to gently disperse in front of the Nero's. Observe how the food moves throughout the tank and passes by the corals. This will help to visualize the flow. Once the food is suspended in the water column you can observe it's flow around the entire system. When done observing, turn off return pump for a few mins so a few pieces of food can settle for your clean up crew, turn flow back on, and replace or clean filter sock about an hour after.
