hey guys,

currently working on a 75gal build with 55gal sump. I already have an eshopps pf-800 which I will be using as my overflow. I've also just ordered a return pump, and the Jebao Cp-120 which is a gyre style pump. I planned on putting the pump on one side and hopefully get a gyre going. My question is, should I have my return flow (2 heads) on each side of the gyre pump so they are going with the gyre? Or should I have the return flows pointed elsewhere? like on back of tank or?
 
If you point them towards or across the gyre flow it can help create more turbulent flow. I use a RFG on my return line and pointed it towards some sps frags.
