Powerhead placement and correct flow

[Crass]

Hey guys!

Setting up my first saltwater tank. It's a 10 gallon IM Fusion nano. Wondering if this powerhead placement will be ok. It's a koralia 425 (back left) + 95gph stock return pump (top right of pic).

Trying to hide the Powerhead in the back left, with return outlet top right. Flow hits front glass and swirls around. Wondering if this will be enough or if I will have too many dead spots

Will this do for a mixed reef tank? Planning on getting SPS eventually down the line.

Thanks!!

You will get a ton of different answers here but most the time the flow in back of rocks are the problem area. As you add stuff the flow will change and where you want the flow to go will change. Right now I'd say give it a shot how it is? Lll

Ya still a ways to go before adding coral, so I will have to be patient and test it out lol. Thanks for the reply!

Also with a tank as small as a 10g the parameters will swing super easy. I'm sure you've been told this lol. Just a heads up!
