Hey guys i got another question for yall... I have a 75gallon saltwater thats been up for a while now... just wondering what is the proper placement for the power heads. I have 4 power heads not including the Output of my filter so you could say 5... is there a right way and a wrong way to place these in the aquarium?

You should place them near the top, so that they are disturbing the water's surface. You want the surface of your tank to ripple. You should also place them so that they are facing different directions, or the flow is hitting the glass and bouncing off in different directions. If your rocks are stacked against the back glass, it helps to have one blowing back there to keep crap from getting trapped behind the rocks.

You need flow in some degree in all levels of the tank.
I perfer to have a couple of powerheads down low and angled upwards.Then mid-level and the upper level.
You'll have to play with the actual placement to get the flow just right.
