Hi

i have a triangle shape tank on 150 gallons, so what do you think will be the optimal place to mount a gyro`

I would center in on the back panel a few inches down from the surface.

I would get a second one and put them on the back wall in each corner aiming to the front corner.

I have a corner bow tank, and set mine on a side wall 2" from surface, horizontally. My tank HAS no back wall, just a curved downflow. The side mount rolls water through very handily in a 105 gallon 36x36x36.
