Now that I have more sps in my tank, I'd like to make my flow better by using a seaswirl. Problem is I don't know the best way to use these as I'm new to them.

I currently have 4 powerheads and my return line for my flow, which is all pretty much direct flow.

How should I plumb this seaswirl in and where do I attach it to my 90g. Here is a top view of my tank.

Just in caseyoi did not know, sea swirls are not powerheads.
By this I mean you have to supply the water flow.
Keeping this in mind, you either are going to have it be the outlet of your return or create a closed loop system.

Thanks Sean, I did know this and that is part of my problem. Do I run it as my return line or get another pump to run it? Is one better over the other? Also, I don't have room to run pvc up behind the tank, so how would I plumb this and where would I place it? Can I just lay it flat on top of the tank in the back right corner?
