I have the red sea xxl750

Return pump is a varios 8
Vortech mp40qd x 2
Neptune apex

Id like some advice (and maybe a walkthrough) on creating a nice flow pattern.

I've never had such a beautiful setup and want to make it work really well.

I've attached a pic of the scape in the tank. I can move the power heads as needed.

Nice looking tank man! I would consider and gyre or two and put the mp40s on back wall.
 
I'm still trying to just get a good flow currently. Something I may consider though. I do like gyres
I really like that I idea on my new build I will be placing a gyre on left and right side and two mp40’s on back wall.

I think with the 40s and the return, I can hand ample flow, it's just finding the best placement for the 40s
