Thats why I love gyres, they can push water down.

Can you angles those powerheads? if you can, angle them to the side of each other, so the water streams don't directly hit each other, let the water flow bounce off the glass on the other side of the tank. (not sure if I explained that correctly)

The Jebao OW series have rotating heads and you can angle them towards the glass or wherever you want.
I don't know how big of a tank.
Some of them move a lot of water.

I have Nero 3s in both my larger and nano . Very adjustable for flow. Jebao is more physically flexible and I’m planning on putting one in my 60 . Maybe try to angle return so that it aims at the trouble spot maybe?

Have you tried moving the one on the right a little closer to the front and lowering it to about half way down the glass.

i haven't think about it. it seems a good idea, will it block the wave when i put it to closer to the front?
