    Hey guys I just found another power-head in my storage that I completely forgot about.

    So far I have:

    Hydor Evo 1050gph (One side of tank)
    Hydor Evo 1400gph (Other side of tank)
    Return pump from sump at about 900gph (Quiet One 4000)

    and I added another powerhead at 600ghp in middle of tank with a slight curve to the right.

    Total of 3950gph turn over rate in a 90 gallon tank

    Is this ok or ? Are positions of powerhead ok ?

    43x turnover is fine, just make sure to keep softies like mushrooms and such out of direct flow. The positions of the power heads is fine also :)

    Sounds good, I have the same flow in my 75 so you could probably boost it if you wanted.
