My tank is pictured below. As you look at it, i have my filter intake at the bottom back left of my tank. My output is top right back in the way of a spray bar stretching 3/4 of the length of my tank (so from right to left.

I have my 4000l/h pump on the right hand glass, aiming to the centre of my tank.

My flow therefore goes from top back right, towards the front, then along the front edge, then back at the left hand edge (basically a clockwise motion).

I have just got my second filer....where do i put my input/output? I dont want the intake back bottom right as my CO2 comes from that side, and i'd worry its just taken right back up!

Ideas? My output from this one is going to be a duckbill btw

can anybody give some suggestions?

I currently have both intakes next to each other....could this cause any problems?
 
Having both intakes next to each other shouldn't cause any problems; I've done it before. If you don't want the intake right next to your CO2, which sounds sensible (I've never run a CO2 system so have no idea on the subtleties) then I don't see where else you could put it anyway!

Lovely tank, btw :)

Thats good then! There does not seem to be an issue so far...

And thanks! I took out a huge but of bogwood and put that bit in instead... I wants it a bit higher though, so added more last night. But I am not sure I like it :( maybe it will grow on me though!
