Ok adding wave maker to my 90 (2 power heads) where should I locate and point them? Offset overflow on back of tank, so both rear corners are accessible. Thanks all, fish next week!
 
I have always started with one in each of the back corners directed towards the center of the front glass. One side higher and one side lower in the corners. Mid top and slightly angled up on one side and Mid bottom slightly angled down on the other.
 
I went side to side at slightly different heights and angles down slightly. Makes a good wave and really got some stuff moving around. With only rock work and now the 2 clowns it's hard to tell what's going on lower in the tank. For now it's good flow with wave action, will play and adjust as corals get added
