One direction water flow in tank good?

Where is the best position to place your Koralias" I have 3 Koralia 4 in a 100 gallon tank. I'm thinking of placing it at one end of the tank along with the return from the sump and then blowing everything in one direction towards the overflow... This would make cleaning out detritus and left over food easier as it collects at one end and the overflows down into the tank and returns to the tank clean. Is this a good way to do it or should I place them different angles in the tank to get random water movement? Thanks

I would think that it would be ok. There are reefs in the world that the water flows mostly one direction. Many corals do like random flow like waves going over them though. I guess try it and see how your corals react. If badly change it up.

I had a 100g and I just used 2Koralia #4s one at each end. with three I would put one in the middle blowing upwards a bit to stir the water surface and two at each end blowing at each other.
