I won a 6080 as a door prize and Im having a bit of trouble with placement of the unit. My tank is setup where no powerheads or returns are showing so Im trying to keep this going. I have a 400gph powerhead in the middle of the tank pointing at the glass and could replace that one the 6080. I can also go from one side to the other but it seems to me as though that is really just a one sided flow. The hole in the middle is less the halfway down and would completely hide the unit. Is this a good location for this unit or is the GPH just too much to blow it at the glass. Any and all opinions more then welcome.

The best would be a side to side flow or back corner to opposite front corner. Just keep in mind that these pumps do need to be cleaned every few months, they will lock up if they aren't cleaned so don't put it somewhere that access is impossible.
