If you put both of your pumps say on a side wall near either the front or back wall spaced more or less equidistant from each other, it should allow you to start a flow pattern going along that tank wall, hitting the side, traveling along that opposite side, then back towards the pumps along the back wall. You could also try to establish a horizontal gyre type flow.
You could then experiment with the height placement of each pump to play with the force of the created current (more in line should create a faster narrower current, the farther apart you move them from in line with each other should weaken the current but widen it. This should create a sort of "water vortex" current as the pumps push water along each wall of the tank. One pump on left side near front glass about halfway down(or up) from tank bottom. flow doing laps around your rock island) you could try these placements and see what works best for you/your pumps/your tank. If you're looking for circular flow (i.e. Well I was thinking circular I guess to eliminate dead spots as much as possible. Sent from my SM-N960U1 using TapatalkThank you for taking the time to assist. If you're undecided what kind of flow pattern you should establish in your tank, that would be something you need to figure out and then people can help you place your pumps to best achieve your desired flow pattern.
Knowing what your end goal is will help people advise you more accurately. two pumps on the same side of the tank doing the same thing to replicate their flow pattern over a wider area) or in opposition? (Ie pump on either side of the tank alternating when they are on)ĭo you want to create a verical pattern gyre flow in your tank? (Both pumps high on top on one end of the tank shooting to the other end of the tank and water traveling down the opposite side wall, and then back across the bottom of the tank) "Horizontal" gyre flow pattern (basically a circular flow pattern that would kind of rotate around your Rock Island)Do you want turbulent flow? Will you be running the pumps the same (i.e. Depends on what kind of flow you are looking to create I think.
