Default Tunze wave

Hi,

I need some advice of where to locate my tunze pumps so there is no dead spots.

I have three controller pumps: 1x 6015 and 2 x 6055. Here is what i think of placing my pump. see attachment.

Any better idea?

Also what would be the best setting for 7095 controller to make wave if position of my pumps are like that?

Thanks

Roger over at the Tunze RC forum seems to usually recommend placement of pumps in the rear top corners so they hit each other near the middle of the front glass. I have mine setup this way with the third below the left pump blowing down the back of the tank. On interval 2 right now and I don't seem to have dead spots. Actually I can't keep my sand in the front of back of the tank! I also get some great surface waves...on the ends there is maybe 3/4" movement.

If mine was bare I would certainly lower my third pump.
