How do stop the sand storms?

[deputydog95]

i've posted about this before with no luck yet.

two 6100's in a 180. waiting on 7095.

running one at a time. each are in the back corners pointing towards the front center of the tank. running them at half power or less. they are submerged in about three inches below the surface.

what keeps happening is the sand in the front center of the tank is being cleared out and blowing back towards the rear center. It's piling up like 6 inches high.

i've tried aiming them corner to corner as well. same thing happens. i know there are only so many ways you can configure these things. the tanks is about a year old and the sand is FL keys live sand.

any other ideas?

The only other possibility is to aim the pumps to the far corner instead. The sand must just be very fine. The only other solution is to use a Stream rock or some custom modification to the mounting to give a slight upward angle to the flow.
