So in setting up my 50g corner pentagon and wanted some suggestions/advice on Powerhead placement. I have a Jebao RW4 and I have two Hydor 500gph. The two Hydor have a wavemaker controller to switch them back and forth on a timer. Any suggestions for placement of the 3 Powerheads? Thanks

Edit: the tank is 23" on the corner sides and 13" on the front three sides and 25" deep.
 
FWIW, if I had three power heads I would put two of them up top at opposite ends of the tank. Rippling the top and a chaotic convergence in the middle. The other one I would put on the left or right side about halfway down, aiming at the surface. Here's a couple pictures jus as an example. GL.

The flow can be changed by bumping the power heads left or right or up & down btw... ;)

I figured I'd get my surface agitation with my return but if the Powerheads are better for that, I may try it.
