As Title says I’m struggling to get enough flow towards the back corners of my tank due to it having a big center overflow box.

I turned my pumps up to get more flow but now it’s blasting my corals. I’m not sure what pumps should I get and where should I place them?
Don’t have anymore pictures as of right now.

Big rock with leather has been moved to another tank was blocking flow

But still having issues.

Currently have a Jebao slw-20 on one end
Other side is I believe a jebao scp 70? I believe. I have them offset but not helping much.

Scp on left and slw on right sides of the tank. I have moved them so many times to try and help but nothings working.

Bit of a closer image to how far the box comes out

What about getting a couple neros and place midway up on the back glass? Or even a couple more slw-20s?

Maybe get them working anti-sync with each other too.

I switched to some gyre pumps and it worked out perfectly. Have them on anti sync. Flow a little strong in middle of the tank but it’s okay. No more dead spots.
