Default manage the flow

its not as "ridiculous" as it may seem if you can manage the flow direction. you should also indicate if you are planning on a sandbed or BB which will make a difference in making that determination

if you already have or you do wish to use these pumps, you do have three options
1) aim the powehead at an angle towards the glass and it diffuses the flow quite effectively. you could also aim it directly down onto the ground (if you don't have sand ie BB) where it could blow as much detritus up and hopefully out to your skimmer
2) aim the seio at an angle towards the water surface which will diffuse the flow
3) the seio's also come with the right angle attachment that allow the seio to be positioned up/down and the attachment blows the water out at a right angle. this attachment also diffuses alot of the flow
