In my 55 gallon, i have a Fluval 3 plus in the back left corner facing up the tank, in the opposite corner is a Fluval U3 with the spray car active, this is set half way down the tank and facing the 3 plus.

On the same side as the U3 on the surface and placed across the width of the tank is a 1/2 ft spray bar from the Eheim 2226.

When i get permission i'll post some pics, i have been told to turn all the filters facing the front section of glass, rather than facing up the tank. I have also been told to move the spray to the middle on the back section of glass and extend the spray to 3 ft.

Just whether there is enough LPH for the Discus, the flow seems good! But i know that Dwarf Hairgrass will get algae if there is no water movement over it. I also seem to be getting a very quick returning build up of brown algae, i have been told its silcites? Not sure my spelling is correct. I probably just worrying too much.
