Position reefwave

[Reefdutch]

I am looking for help or advice on where to position my two ReefWave 25 pumps.

At the moment, it seems that debris from the water column isn't making its way into the aquarium's overflow. There is also a dead spot in the front-left corner.

I want to fine-tune or reposition the pumps, but I’ve been trying for a few days without success. Hopefully, someone can help me out.

I’ve also included a photo of my aquascape. Its a bit older pic but the scape is still the same. Unfortunalty the torches had a bail out when I was at holiday.

My aquarium:
Dimensions: 100 cm wide, 60 cm deep; water level is approximately 53 cm.

On top of the scape there are now 2 stylo and in the future i wanna place there some acropora.

In the middle of the scape I would like to place again torches and hammers. So more lps in the middle.

The overflow and return are located in the left corner.

Equipment:
2x ReefWave (left 60% and right 80% both with random wave setup)
ReefMat 500
Skimmer 300 DC

Many thanks for the help!

Hey there. I made a video about this very thing for @Ziggy17 not too long ago, so here you go. Give this a try and see what you think:



We should also enlist the rest of the #reefsquad to see if they have any suggestions.

Many thanks @Fish Styx . I’ll give this a try this weekend.

Do you think I’ve placed the horizontal one in the right window, since my overflow is on the left side?

I'm inclined to say that the vertical should be on the side with the overflow, but I'm not really sure. Try playing with the placement on either side to see which works better for you.

@Fish Styx is spot on. See which side has better flow and go from there as mentioned.
