Hmm...The way I have mine set up I have 2 tunze nano streams (660gph each) on opposite ends of the tank pointed towards the front center of the tank. I have a sump and one of my return lines is pointed from the rear center to the front center of the tank, the other is pointed down towards the right rear of the tank. I also have a closed loop with a SCWD, right side is pointed to the front right of the tank and the left side is pointed towards the right side of the tank. (Mag7 on the closed loop) I can sit and watch as my frogspawn sways one way and then sways another as the flow is shifted about. A closed loop on your tank would help alot it would reverse the flow from one side to the other while your Koralias did the rest of the work.

Thanks for the feedback, but I just don't have the space for a closed loop behind my tank and all. The only problem with having two pumps on either side of the tank is that the flow would be blown directly into my rock work because the rocks are stacked like a wall in the middle of the tank.

My return from my sump comes over the back and the outlets are right at the top back corners facing the from of the glass. This is only about 200 gph of flow.
I have 2 tunze 6025's, each facing directly across the tank. One is in the lower back corner, one is in the upper front corner. One gets the flow along the lower rock work, the other gets the flow moving along the front. Kind of a mini cyclone, and only one powerhead is visible.

Thanks, I think I may go ahead and put two Koralia 2's on either end of the tank (both facing towards the middle of the tank). I know two Koralia 1's wouldn't nearly be strong enough, and two 3's is definitely toooooooo strong.
