Where and what position would you have your spray bar at?

Suctioned on the top middle of your tank?, top left side of your tank to create a current for fish?, or some sort of 45 degree angle positioning or whatnot

I need some circulation in my 60 gallon. I noticed I got some blue green algae growing D: I currently own a eheim 2217 which is not operated yet until I get my DIY co2 reactor ready.

I've already gone with outtake on the side.. Have a nice look

It's positioned upward a little to give some current.. Too strong? Good idea? Bad idea? I need some quick opinions. Thanks buddies
 
I got mine in the back center about 3 inches below full tank level facing towards the front aiming down towards the sand bed.
 
I have mine up and down, like this: | In the back right corner.
 
I position the intake and outflow at opposite ends of the tank no matter how I position the spraybar. In the co2 added tank circulation and not having surface aggitation are important. In non co2 added tanks then circulation is the key.

One spraybar is postitioned vertically in the back right corner (co2 tank) and the other at the surface along the top lright and pointing slightly downward. Both intakes are prefiltered using FilterMax III prefilters and on the rear bottom left. One had the sponge aligned horizontally and the other it is vertical.
 
Spray bar is on the left side of the 55 and the intake is on the right.
 
Come to think of it, I have never thought of putting them on different ends lol
 
Any more thoughts? Ideas
