    I only move them around when I add a new pump. Find the sweet spot then don't touch them.

    I occasionally shift them around, well, just pan them a little. The biggest one I have has a "wavemaker" on it, which I've found to be garbage.

    Wow, I tought this poll would have a bias somewhere on the results. But no, it's all even pretty much.

    We have two powerheads aimed in the general water/at the surface. And 2 aimed at specific coral locations to hit the SPS and others that like more flow properly. If we get a new coral that needs some flow, I might get creative with powerhead direction to make sure it gets what it needs. Other than that I don't touch them.
