Power head placement for 75g

Llorgon · Nov 1, 2022

I have a 75g tank that is currently running 2 octo pulse 2's. I recently bought a icecap 2k gyre for added flow and I'm not sure where the best place to put it would be.

Current powerheads are on either side of the tank slightly offset from each other.

aim them slightly higher. i can see 2 spots on the sand on both ends where sand dunes are. you can fix this by aiming a little higher

Good point I will do that.

I'm still not sure where I should place the gyre. I could have both octo pulses on the same side with the gyre on the opposite side. Or maybe have the octopulses on the back wall and gyre on the one side?

Thats a lot of flow with out a gyre. I have 90 (same length as your75) my left Nero is lower than the right. Running pulse at 60% my tanks blowing all over the place.
