Had a question optimum flow for my 37 gal bow front reef tank! I have 2 hydor 240s and a hang on aqua clear 70 this is the set up I have right now. The one on the right is slightly turned towards the surface and the left pump is level pointed at the right pump. About 3 inches below waters surface. Any suggestions or help on placement would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you!

Bump! Can take a picture with no blue light if that helps
 
I'd start with have them like you have them and adjust from there. One on the left pushed water toward your HOB and the one on the right circulates toward the front of the tank pushing flow to the other on the left. Create a circulating flow in the system.

If too much flow if you can adjust the amount of flow play around with that until you get what you need.

Awesome thank you! should I direct the one on the right towards the front glass?
