I'm in the process of setting up a 180 gallon tank for two oscars 3 silver dollars and 2 plecos. I was using the tanks for plants and discus but now that inhabitants have passed away, I've decided to start anew, forget the live plants and go with my childhood favorite pet of oscars. I'm adding a second canister filter to the one I already have. Currently I have the intake in one back corner and the outflow at the other. My inclination is to place the new filter in same places so both intakes are in on corner and both outflows are at the other. Does anyone have an opinion about whether this is a better idea than doing the opposite: one intake and one outflow at each site. Thanks

To cover more of the tank I would put the intake pipes at either end of the tank. Do the same with the outlets

look in the section you are posting this thread in ...theres multiple threads with exactly the same question........heres the links
