Just had a quick question. I just got a waving hand anthelia today and I am trying to provide movement/current to the anthelia and the Green Star Polyp. I have a hang on the back filter, a wave maker, and a UV sterilizer light pump. (Currently not using the light. Just the pump for water movement.) I posted pics below. Any suggestions on how I can get them movement?

What size tank is it? Would seem like what you have in it should provide plenty of flow for those already? :)
60 gallon. It should be. But I can't seem to get a position where it reaches both. Guess I'm just looking for people's ideas they have haha
 
The problem with only one powerhead is you get a one way linear flow, usually with some dead flow spots. A tank IMO ideally should have powerheads on opposite sides, pointed at each other to bounce and create random flow pattern and reduce dead flow spots. I would add another on your tank.

This sounds like a great idea. Thank you for your opinion!
