Hi all

I've just upgraded my 90 gallon (48x18x24) filtration from a single eheim 2215 to dual eheim 2215's.

Ideally I would have positioned both spraybars on the backwall of the aquarium with slight surface agitation for a circular flow from front to back. However, I've noticed that the latest model eheim's have a fixed piece of hose on the spraybar attachment that would require the tubes to go over the side wall of the aquarium in order tio position the spraybar on the back wall. Unfortunately my hood prevents this setup, so I'm stuck with the spraybars positioned on the sidewalls.

Given this constraint and short of DIY, I'm wondering what the best position for the 2 spraybars and intakes would be?

Thanks
