Powerhead placement

[Don Golde]

I have had a 14g biocube for a couple of years and I just recently bought a 2nd powerhead. Where should I place both of the heads? Up top? One up top and one below?

That's a lot of powerheads for a 14g

I thought that at first but I've talked to quite a few people who have multiple heads but I dont see a uniform placement.

What corals do you have. Where are your dead spots? What is the flow rate of the heads.

 

[Don Golde]

All softies at the moment. Looking to go for some SPS next. I had some dead zones at the back of the tank, behind the rock work.

 

[Webslinger]

I guess I would point one behind your rockwork. Softies don't need much flow. 140-280 gph is the max flow for a tank your size, with your return also.

I will try this. Thank you.
