Hi guys I have two Nero 5s that I need help deciding the placement of, this is my first saltwater tank and I plan to add corals down the line, also any recommended flow strength or schedules would be appreciated. My tank is a 55-gallon display, red sea reefer 250.

I currently have them on opposite ends of the tank with one slightly more upwards and towards the center and the other lower and closer to the glass. Is this fine? or should they be facing directly at each other to disperse the flow around the tank better?
