Hey guys,
I am new here and I have started my own reef tank. I have a sca 50 gallon cube tank that's been running for about 4 months. I purchased 2 jebao rw-4 powerheads for better flow in the tank. I am not sure where to place them and would like some help on proper placement. Right now I have them on the back sides angled towards the middle of the tank. I have been fighting cyano algae due to possible overfeeding and maybe not enough flow. Can anyone help. Thanks

I would place them where you have them but a bit further up the wall. You also want to see where you have poor flow and point them in to that direction to increase the flow in the dead spots.

Thanks going to try it and see what happens.
