if i do decide to just get one though, where should i put it? I have my marineland 350 on the right side of the tank so where should i point my powerhead? I was thinking on the top left pointing towards the rock?

Point it towards the surface. Pointed up. This will make more water reach the surface oxygenating the water. I don't know what price you are paying but my lfs was double priced from what this seller was. Just check it out.

Let me add also you should put it on the opposite side of the HOB filter. Maybe even pointing it toward the HOB itself. Making the two currents create turbulence.
