Hey everyone! So I’m getting to the point where I need to think about flow for my new 75 gallon tank.
There are two water inputs on the top corners that split into two hoses that are positioned as shown in the second picture. But the flow coming from them isn’t too strong.
So I’m thinking 2 additional powerheads on both side walls, one in the middle of the back wall, both options, or something else?
Would also appreciate some brand recommendations; looking for quality and something not too loud.
Thanks for your time! :)

I would place two sinusoidal pumps on both sides and sync them up so they can go back and forth with the flow.

Or a similar setup with vortechs/jebaos but synced up.

Thank you! I’ll look into those brands
