Flow and Direction

[tnoblett]

As I have said before... I'm new to these gems!

Tank Details:

110gal tall tank with the overflow in the center. Mainly sps' with a few softies around the rocks...

Looking to increase the flow and turbulence... I have them set-up pointing toward the center of the tank with the streams hitting each other. No fluctuation with the flow yet. I have the Profilux and the cables are coming...

Do you have any suggestions?
offset percents of their power
should I mount them on the center overflow and point them
outward toward the tank's front corners

any suggetions would be great...

I am not sure what options the Profilux has but in general I would run one pump at a time or run one at low power and the other at high, alternating this every 5-6 hrs will roughly replicate the tides. The pump that is on will create a wider more turbulent flow if it is pulsed from 30-100%. It usually works best to angle the pumps from the back corner to hit the front about 2/3rd of the way across the tank, this will create a somewhat rolling current that is more diffuse.
