Water flow and surface agitation

Hey fishheads. I finally started my 75g. I dry started it about 6 weeks ago and the MC is doing well.


I have an Eheim G160 (330 GPH) with glass lilly pipes that I think look clean, but doesn't seem to be moving water that well and definitely not much surface agitation. Some plants slightly move with the water flow and there is a barely noticeable ripple on the top close to the outlet pipe. There is a spiraling funnel effect from the outlet pipe which looks cool, but is that enough breakage in the surface water? Am I better off adding (which takes away from my clean look) a powerhead on the opposite side of the tank from the outlet pipe (I would place it above my CO2 diffuser pointing back to the outlet pipe aiming up to create surface agitation and water current, OR, do I replace the outlet pipe with the original spray bar that came with it and place it on top facing it the same way as the currently place outlet pipe.


I put a Marineland Deluxe 350 on my 29G tall with a spray bar and the water flow and surface agitation is so much better than that Eclipse II hood/filter that came with it. I have great water movement and the surface water is clean. That is what I thought I was going for with my new tank.


Any suggestions or opinions are appreciated.


Thanks!

So I bought a Nano 545 and placed it above my CO2 diffuser. I tried placing it on the same side as the outflow pipes, but it didn't move surface water at the other end any better. Now I am gettting the CO2 distributed better across the tank and the surface water is clean and has good movement. The water flow is gently moving all my plants throughout the tank. Thank you for your advice.

Thank you.
