I just purchased a LED Biocube 32 from Coralife. I want to do a reef tank with different corals. What I am looking for is a general placement of a secondary power head so that I get great water movement in the tank. Any suggestions?

Do you know what type of powerhead you will be utilizing with the build? I've seen alot of builds with the powerhead either near the top on the back wall, or hear the top on the back corner.

Hey! If it were mine, id add a directional powerhead on the opposite side of the return jet and have them both face the top of the front pane. In my biocube I have a similar setup. I have the powerhead on my right pane facing toward. I'm not sure if the dry(outside) magnets could go under water, otherwise I'd stick it to my back wall. Flow cranks throught my entire tank, I use just a single jebao pp8
 
Welcome and good luck. You’re going to have a blast with that tank!

I personally would put an MP10 in there. But, there’s plenty of options to chose from and I’m sure you’ll find one that works from the suggestions you’re about to get.

I bought a Sicce Voyager Nano 2000. It is 530 gph. I am hoping this is enough.
