    I was wondering if the placement of my powerheads is ok. Please check out the image and let me know if that is OK for the tank.

    EDIT: in the imgae, i had a K3 labeled as 550 gph but it's actually 850 GPH.

    Hi Tpasche

    it looks OK to me, I cant tell how big the tank is

    the best judges will be your corals , when you start adding them

    just be prepared to make some changes in terms of direction etc, as often just moving power heads a few CM in either direction can make a lot of difference

    Thanks Steve!

    It's actually a 46 gallon - that is good enough for me. I had them one place earlier and it was showing the glass on the bottom at certain spots so i moved them around a little and it made a big difference.

    I'll keep them how they are and pay attention to the fish & coral once added.

    Thanks for the help!
