    Simple question, not sure on the answer. Have 3 Hydor Koralia Nano 425s and a Hydor Evo 750. Where would you place them? Tank is 46gallon only other watermovement at this point is a 264gph filter

    I'd blow them at the rock, from towards the front/sides or the tank. MOve them as you seem necessary.

    Nice base rock btw.

    That's MHO.

    Diddo on the rock, would place them lower toward the back of the left and right sides, aiming them upwards towards the front opposite corner.

    So, I was just reading some posts on base rock. What do you have, THR, quarry rock?, what?
