your lowest visual impact and most efficient way with that filter would be to arrange a spray bar to keep the surface turning over.
powerheads always give a very cool looking aeration look imo, and a fairly quiet. To much splashing bothers me.
I have my returns just under the water, pointing lengthwise and upward slightly.
Much less noisy then having them above the water spraying lengthwise.
Surface agitation is where airation mainly takes place.

either a spray bar or a powerhead.
IMHO i think it would be dumb to have an air pump on a tank that size. you would either have many or one really big one

thank you guys, went with both , mounting return just below surface and put a big wall of bubbles on the back wall under the sand. just getting paramaters ready for another couple of weeks, then i get the fun job of moveing these guys to there new home. the garr might be an issue. ha!
