Looking to improve the flow in my tank by adding a seaswirl. I currently have all my flow from 4 powerheads and my return line. Now that I have more sps, I want my flow to be less direct by adding this wave maker.

I'm not sure how to hook it up or placement in my tank.Do I use this as my return line now? If so, what do I do about the current bulkhead/locline return line? any help is appreciated.

Here is a drawing of my tank from topdown view

U do have a lil dilema there . I would add a squid to split the return line and add the sea swirl to the right rear corner to do a 90 degee sweep .f to left . This way you keep the existing return and use the sea swirl too. A squid switches so pump velocity should not decline too much .

HTH
