    ok have 1 1400 in the rear left facing the front middle, and 1 in the rear right facing the rear middle, operating at about 5 minutes on and then off! Seems to be making a nice flow to the system! Def stirring some crap up though. Water change is ready.;)

    So far so good, running them on and aft about 2 minutes at a time. No knocking from the eve's either. It really couldn't be any simpler to operate, just some patience getting everything aimed right. After they turn off, you still get a nice wave like effect till they turn back on. I'm happy, I'm def getting a little more random flow in the low flow areas this way.
