In need of help

[jbjints]

I have two (2) 6065's in my 120 gallon tank and after numerous attempts at trying to set the two up so that my sand does not blow around I just cannot align them properly. What options do I have if any? I am constantly having to move my sand around and I am constantly trying to find the right spot for my Tunze's but I have had no luck.

Thank you in advance for any help you can provide.

Thank you,

Joe

Have you tried alternating them at 1hr intervals on timers so only one is on at a time? Have you tried placing them about 6" from the top angled slightly upwards and blowing down the length of the tank or diagonally (longest direction possible)?

Roger:

I never lowered them because my sand blew around more the lower I placed them but I will try that tonight. I will first try lowering both 6065's 6" from the top and if that doesn't work I will then try alternating them on a timer.

Thank you,

Joe

Lowering them will make it worse unless the pumps are aimed upward as well.

I had the pumps aimed upward but it seems as if I did not have them low enough. I will lower them to 6" below the tank rim and aimed at the opposite corner.

Thanks,

Joe
