I am trying to decide how I want to do the flow in this tank???????

LIke I said I ditched my CL and went with the cheapo koralia knockoffs, I have them situated in the top right corner of the tank, one blowing down the back of the tanks LR and the other blowing across the surface towards the left front and down. It keeps the poo fairly well suspended. Much better then the original plan. To test my flow out I tied a piece of dental floss to a stick and used it to see where the water was going to and made adjustments accordingly, it is an old cylender head porters trick.
I think a bigger stand would be great, just from a storage point of view. I would suggest a bigger sump for you too, 15 g seems kind of small if you want a fuge too. If you have a 4 foot stand maybe a 30 breeder would be a better choice.
Does your tank have a center brace like mine? If so I think the single light would not be a good option.
I'm glad to see there are other people with oddball tanks like mine.
