Need some suggestions on placement. I have a 4 foot 75g.

On the left is an RW-4 on the right is an RW-8. I did have the flow set where all the corals including SPS seemed happy. All my SPS are the left largest rock so I had the RW-4 pointing slightly down at the Rock pulsing and the RW-8 on the other end is set at random.

I noticed a lot of crap building up on the sand behind the rocks so I re positioned the RW4 to blow it out better and now there is not enough flow across my SPS Rock. I tried raising the RW8 higher and stronger but it does not reach the other end of the tank.

I have another RW-8 coming in today. My question is with 2 RW-8's and an RW-4 where would you put them? I was thinking to put the new RW8 where the 4 is currently then put it on the back wall in the middle lightly pulsing towards the big rock.
 
I would put the 2 8s on each side pointing toward each other and then wherever it seems you have a dead spot add the 4 there.
