Well I re-read what Ben wrote. I never really took apart the powerheads, so I did so. I figured by reading the diagrams on the packaging, that if you change the slider (the green/red one) that it reverses the flow, -BUT- after opening the powerhead up, and looking inside, I see what you mean about just moving it partial way, so that the red drum just slightly covers the output.

Volia, instant heaven, and no more clownfish flying around the tanks .

I ended up pointing both of them towards the front center on the tank (one slightly more towards the center of the tank all together).

My lights are on a timer which has 2 plugs, so I put one of the powerheads in there, so that at night time, its not so turbulent.

I have noticed however, as soon as the lights go off, they start swimming around more often. They seem to like hanging around the body of the powerheads.

Thanks again everyone for the tips! Lostmind, I'll have to grab that book of you.
