Hey! I was having some issues with deadspots on the sides of my live rock. I installed two vortech MP10s toward the back facing each other. Not sure if this is my most optimal positioning here. Curious on what y'all think?

edit: there's three pictures in the Imgur Album, use the left and right arrows to navigate between them.

Don't place them symmetrically. Humans love to make things even. Move one to the front or down or both. Not a lot.
Just some.
This is always trial and error somewhat.

two vortechs seems like over kill for a tank that size. then again I run two nero 3s on a 25g cube.

this ^ I have mine placed slightly staggered on opposite walls. Seems to keep everything flowing.

two is definitely overkill. Happy that I can tune them down as I need.

The purchase of two was forward looking on my end, eventually we'll upgrade to a 40 breeder and figured we could use these effectively in the 40.
