Q for the stick heads: too much direct flow? Move pump?

[ReeferTCG]

Hey all! Thanks gor the help in advance !

I wonder if this dmp 20 is too much direct flow. Things grow but look wrinkly. I wonder if moving it to the sides might be ok, im worried it wont be enough flow for the sticks in the middle.

This is a 24 by 24 cube

Flow is blue line i want to move the pumps to the back wall (red arrow)

Are you saying you want to attach the pumps to the back wall or close to the back wall on the side?

If it's the back wall you may experience a lot of sand movement from the front of the glass because of the shorter distance. You would have to dial them back but then that defeats the question about good flow.

Thanks for looking at this @revhtree !

So this is a bare bottom system and I have MP in the back marked in red, i want to move my side mp pump to the back glass where the dotted red lines are. Wanted to see if others have had success with general high flow in the tank not necessarily hitting the sticks.

My drawing skills are horrendous sorry!!

The green section is the OF in my tank picture.

Everything in the blue line wont have as much flow but the general flow in the tank will still be high.
