Help needed about flow direction
Hello, I tried posting this in the nanotank section but got no responses.
I have a 29 Gal. Biocube. I am trying to create a circular flow. I am looking for feedback on what direction I should have the outtake nozzle (where the water comes out) pointed in? For example, if I am facing the tank...should it be up and to the right or down, etc. I also have a Koralia 1 fan/blower....any tips as top where to put that. Thanks! |

You want to disturb the surface quite a bit
bouncing the flows off of the glass should get you a fairly random circ. I believe the more chaotic the better rather than circular.

I would either place the Korallia so it bounces off glass or crasshes directly into your other output.
