    What's up everyone,
    So heres a little about myself. When I was little my dad had a 80 gal freshwater tank and of course I became interested. As i got older my dad decided to take the tank down and had it stocked away in one of our closets for the longest time. I became employed at a pet store almost 3 years ago when i was 16 and being surrounded by pet supplies I had no choice but to start the tank back up. I am now 19 and about 4 months ago retrieved that tank and decided to go SALTWATER. I have my 80 gallon tank with a Emperor 400 power filter, Sea Clone 100 Protein Skimmer, Marine Land 300 Watt Heater, and actually tomorrow I will be getting 2 "Koralia 2" Powerheads which I am actually looking for some help in where I should position them. It is a FOWLR tank and currently holding A Foxface and a Common Clown. As you can see in the picture if you look in the back you can see they are always hanging around each other. I have come to this forum many times for the answers to common questions with other peoples tanks but never register and signed up. I finally did and Im glad to see how helpful and informative you guys/girls are toward people with help. I know ill have a lot of questions and hopefully give out some answers i may have from the little experience I have. If you have any comments or suggestions i should do with my tank your more then welcome to help me out!..... Like with what other fish I should maybe look into adding to my tank.? Positioning of my powerheads and the number I should have to achieve good circulation. My tank stacks up numerous algae on the glass most likely due to some dead spots. And i positioned the rocks so they no longer touch the back glass for easy cleaning.
    Thanks in advance for all your help and I look forward to talking with all of you in the Forum.

    Welcome to 3reef and personally I would go with koralia 3's for that size tank. As far as positioning them you could point them from the back left and right side to the front glass in the middle. But it really depends what works for you and where you need them for your tank.

    Welcome to the reef- and I like the background of the tank, it gives you something to look at while your tank is "growing"!
