Tunze placement

[DaveWC]

I've done the searches & read the threads on this topic but it seems that every tank is different so I'll ask again. I've got a 225g 72Lx30Wx24H tank coming with a center, internal overflow. I will be using a TS48 kit on this tank. The tank will be bb. I'm thinking I'd like to have 2 large islands of rock which will allow for siphoning on all sides/front/back of the tank and good water movement. Where is the best place to put four 6100 streams? I was thinking about putting them all in the back corners, two facing forward, two facing towards the middle along the back pane of glass. I will have the magnets for mounting them. Can they be angled or can they only point perpendicular to the glass?

Will your focus be SPS? I might suggest starting witha TS24 and upgrading if needed as it may be too much flow for some corals.

It will be a mixed reef tank with lots of sps. I will have a Quiet 1 6000 for a return pump and it will probably produce about 1,000gph. I figure if the four 6100s are too much I can sell two of them.

I would place two on each side blowing the length of the tank and use interval 2 so one side idles at 30% and the other pulses.

So one in each of the four upper corners, all facing lengthwise?

Probably best to have them about 12" in from the corners.
