Powerhead placement in 40 breeder
I have a return setup on the left side of my tank, a koralia 1050 on the back left of the glass and had a penguin 150 on the righthand side. I just got a koralia 750 and put it next to my other one, but on the other side.... When I turned it on, it irritated my rics and gsp. they started closing and receding, so I turned it off.... whats good placement for these 2 powerheads? Pics would help! Heres a pic of the way I have it right now(excuse the dirty glass and messy stuff)

2 Evo 1050s in a 40B. One on the left is slightly pointed at the front left corner and fairly parallel to the water line. If I pivot it up too much I get sand blowing. Might try this with the 750 on the left. I get good surface agitation with this setup too.

I moved the 750 on the right to the lower bottom right corner. Pushed some stuff off the rocks, and didnt seem too overly annoying to the coral... gonna check back tomorrow on it....
