Just had a quick question. I just got a waving hand anthelia today and I am trying to provide movement/current to the anthelia and the Green Star Polyp. I have a hang on the back filter, a wave maker, and a UV sterilizer light pump. (Currently not using the light. Just the pump for water movement.) I posted pics below. Any suggestions on how I can get them movement?

The problem with only one powerhead is you get a one way linear flow, usually with some dead flow spots. A tank IMO ideally should have powerheads on opposite sides, pointed at each other to bounce and create random flow pattern and reduce dead flow spots. I would add another on your tank.

This sounds like a great idea. Thank you for your opinion!
