Sorry if it’s hard to see- I’ve got a hydor koralia nano 565 on the left pointing at the front of the tank and an aquamai kps wavemaker on the bottom right shooting across the back behind the live rock. The return pump on my sump is rated 343 gph and is returning flow at the right top of the tank pointed towards the front. Is this the correct amount of flow and good placement?

Typically you would put the koralia on the side of the tank pushing water across your tank. I like the idea of moving that one and leaving the other where it is so you'll have a continuous circle of flow (if that makes sense)

That makes sense - I've read people doing both the circle and others pointing powerheads at each other along the back. Wasn't sure which one was best. Thanks!

My return is in right rear pointed left along back wall.
Aqamai Kpm on left wall front, pointing right and slightly down.
