Placement of pumps for best flow?

[MizTanks]

Pump placement. Yea or nea? I'm not even going to pretend I know anything about flow. The back one under the rock is a 550 korilia the other 2 are 250's.

Quite honestly.... doesnt matter. Pump placement is 1 part strategy 2 parts personal preference IMO.

As long as your not noticing dead spots, increased algea growth or cyano in areas (all over is a bigger issue, but small "spots/areas" can often be corrected w/ flow adjustments/increases) then I would say dont mess with them... unless u dont like where they are placed.

Personally I would take the 2 in the corners off the back glass and put them on the side glass pointing at eachother, at the same heights they are now. It will create more of a randomized flow with the two hitting off eachother.... or if they dont overlap it will create kind of a "circle track" flow which has also been known to be of benefit.

Goodluck!!
