Best positioning of power head - need help

What is the way to position power head in the tank. I’m not happy the way my power head position, because the water not really goes through at the whole tank. Water circulation very good in front tank but not at the back.

You may want to get a second powerhead so you'll have greater flexibility with shaping the currents in your tank. What type of powerhead do you have now?

I don't think it's a matter of positioning, I think it is a matter of having enough flow from all devices to cover the entire tank. The SEIO's are a good start, you might try yet another one to complete the flow.
