4-6" should be about right and have the stream go toward the wall on a fairly sharp angle to get things turning in the tank...

Shad Keeper and salt in the tank for "fixins"...rock salt or Kosher salt best...gotta keep water around 55* tops...careful adding ice as some store-bought ice can have chlorine and kill 'em all...if you add ice from a store, add a little more Shad Keeper
