where to put the powerhead in 45 gal reef

[Ocean2k]

Hey guys,

i'm using 1 powerhead (2000 l/h) to move the water, the powerhead is ij the middle of the aquarium and goes up to splash the surface of the water, i'v got another 2000 l/h powerhead but if i put it i'l have a fast move in the water and the soft corals are zig zag.
does 1 2000 l/h powerhead is enough ?
and if not, where do you sugest to put the powerhead ?

A 2000 lph powerhead is just fine for a 45 gallon, but I would recommend you purchase a wave maker so you can both of them on the top right corners of the tank and alternate the flow.

look at this photos and tell me if to left the powerhead where it is or to change it.

Looks fine to me. Another powerhead on the right side on a wavemaker would be nice, but it isn't necessary.

Did you see that i have a white thing on the water surface from the right side (only on top), there i dont have a good stream of water.

A second powerhead on a wavemaker will fix that It's good to alternate current to provide flow in all directions in all spots.

Does that white thing on the water surface harm to something ?

i think i'l don't make any change in the powerhead (you sad its o.k like this).

Thx.
