Tunzes on bottom back of the tank?

[Reefer90210]

Do any of you run tunzes on the back bottom of your tank?

I am going BB and would like to push a ton of flow through the bottom, so I have spray bars on both sides of overflow powered by a dart on OM 4way but I also am going to put 3x6100 tunzes... just wondering if any of you do this, and if so how do you hide the tunzes or make enough room to take them out?

There in lies the rub- tunzes need periodic service, so if they are on the bottom and covered, service is a beyotch. Tunze makes the stream rocks which (somewhat) hide the streams, but they still cannot be covered.

When considering where to place my stream, i was debating bewteen mid level, lower, or the typical upper end. I figured in nature the most turbulent water is at the surface, and this is what drive the water movement below, so I ended up putting them near the top. With Tunzes, water movement is not much of a concern. I have 2 6100s in my 210, and the current whips around except in some very shielded places.
