Set up MegaFlow Dual Overflow AGA/Aqueon for Max Filtration

[bjbass]

So I have an AGA 210 gallon tank with the to dual MegaFlow overflows. There are two on either end on the back of the tank. I have two adjustable returns at the top. Right now I have one pointed just straight to the side of the tank and the other turned to face to the front of the tank.

I have noticed that a lot of fish poop kind of hangs out in the middle. Has anybody figured out a good configuration to get the flow moving and circulate the tank so that the material goes into the filters?

Woops. I meant to put this in Setup/Filtration. Sorry!

Just got to pay around with different positioning, if still not happy maybe add a powerhead or two.

I have the same setup and the same problem. It collects pretty much dead center on my sand. I plan on buying a powerhead or 2, just haven't got around to it yet. I have been fooling around with the nozzle's for month's and I've Gotten it pretty close though.

I also have the 210 Megaflow (kind of a misnomer in my opinion) and had the same problem. I ended up using two Tunze and one Koralia powerheads to stir things up. The Koralia is on a wavemaker to help vary the current. It has really made a big difference - the only time I see waste accumulated on the sand is first thing in the morning, as the wavemaker turns off the Koralia at night.

How did you get them close?

I basically had both output nozzles on each end pointed to where the streams bounced off the glass 3" from the sand...one on the front glass and one on the back glass at around 45 degree angle. Hope that makes sense. Kinda hard to describe.
