Aiming Powerhead

[Murray]

which way should I aim the output from the powerhead connected to an undergravel filter, should i point it down or up at the surface of the water...will either be better for higher stocking in my tank?

Point it up so you get surface agitation.

Mine just goes forward but I have a canister filter and 36" of bubble wall to break my surface area

I have an aqua clear mount on back filter and the bubbles from the powerhead rise to break the surface, im just wondering if u want the current to be more underwater or more at the surface of the water.

Thats up to you and your fish. My fish are big enough not to be blown by the current (300gph). Some fish dont like it

20 gallon tank 175 gph powerhead 150 gph external hang on back filter, 6 rummy nose 1 pair of kribensis (plan to add 4 cardinals)

You can point it somewhat up so it reaches the other side of the tank and see how they like it
