Hey I was wondering what everyone's oppinion was when placeing powerheads? Is it better to angle them upward, downward, accross your tank? Is it better to place them low in the tank or high? Thanks for the help in answering this question.

I have (or had) one on one side of the tank closer to the front facin straight across and then one on the other side closer to the back and up higher than the other one also facing straight so it was a constant (not to strong) flow

Yeah right now I have one on the bottom left side towards the back of the tank, with a slight upward flow. And another one on the right side of the tank towards the top pointing the same way. So I was just wondering if I should re-position them another way.

I would just make sure you don't have any dead spots.  Depending on the coral you have, you may want lower flow in some areas of your tank (along with lower light).  So I think that planning what you want to have in your tank might be taken into account insofar as where you put your powerheads.
