Where to place power head?

[quasar]

So i have a fluval sea c4 powerhead in my 90g. I also have an AC70 and an AC110 running with an ATI sponge filter #5. I was wondering where should i place the powerhead? The two filters are about 15" apart and hooked up at the back wall of the tank with the output obviously going forward.

Right now i have the PH on the top right hand corner with the flow pointing lengthwise and about 3.5" from the top

Why do you have a power head? Dead spots, surface agitation?

Mainly surface agitation, and for some current

You want it blowing the bottom level thus stirring up debris so your ac's can take care of business w/ mechanical filtration! Preferably 6" above sub pointed toward the ac110!

Surface agitation is greatly achieved thru your 2x h.o.b so utilize your circulater!

if you're drawing from the bottom, I probably wouldn't add a powerhead. if your HOB inputs are halfway up the tank or higher, I'd probably run it along the back at the bottom to stir up what sinks below the intakes.
