A hole in the top of the tank and a drop tube like AC showed. just be carueful with that bottom bung on the tank in the picture. The o ringa and seals will eventually fail with chems in the tank

I hear you and AC loud and clear on that bottom hole in the tank, John.
May be my biggest mistake, but the tank was here and paid for.
Did some reading on the Internet and am going to try some E6000 glue. Heard it will hold up with bleach...
We'll know for sure in a couple months. I'll be the guinea pig, should know by then whether I'm even getting in the business...
I'm still not seeing where Vic's question has been answered. Assuming he is going to use a drop tube, Vic seems to be asking "where" in the tank should the recirculating nozzle be located?
A) Close to a corner, directed down the long axis of the tank.
B) Near the center of the tank, shooting any direction.
C) Either, it doesn't matter.
I may be wrong, but is this the information you are after, Vic??

That is what I wanted to know. Thanks, Mark!
You said it much clearer than I did.
I couldn't think of the word "agitator," yesterday...

I like off to one side and centered so you don't have an accumulation of debris in the center of the whirlpool effect.

Thank you, AC!
I should add that I asked Paul Kassander in FB about this and he told me:
"That would be fine just so you don't point it directly at the pickup tube. You want to avoid any disturbance there if you can."
That is for the benefit of anyone else thinking about using agitators...
Where is the best place to physically mount a recirculation jet in a chemical or mix tank?
In the corner pointing parallel to the long side or in the middle pointing where-ever?
I was just about to mount one in a corner, but thought this is a permanent hole in the tank, I'd better not get it wrong.
Does anyone have a diagram? Any advice or sharing experiences will be appreciated! Thank you,

At the top with some sort of drop tube...try to keep holes above chem level
Thanks, John. I was thinking horizontal. You mean vertical positioning?

Vic, like this.
