Flow

[Alexx17]

i have a 32 gallon biocube with live rock in the center. I have a power head on the right side pointing at the back of the tank and the return pointing slightly to the center. I want to get a icecap gyre 2k. “When it comes out”. I wa shrinking to place it on the right against the back wall, so it would be pushing against the back wall, with different patterns. And move the first power head up and point it up move at the top. (The icecap would as close the bottom without moving the sand. Any other ideas? Or suggestions?

I would try to create strong circular flow around your rock structure rather than force water toward the overflow.

I think I’m going to put the icecap 2k where the current powerhead is located and move the current powerhead close to the front right corner pointed directly at the rocks. Will that be good flow?

With one of the rotors removed I think it would work. I'd be hesitant to have them both going, that might be too much flow. You can probably ditch the powerhead once you have the gyre.
