I will be setting up a 65G due to custom built tank, this is my idea of setting up the flow for the tank
Pump : maxspect gyre 230 (2300gph) or larger.
The tank is 36” wide and overflow is 24” wide. So I have around 6” on both side from the edge to put the magnet. This pic below would it be too much flow in the center of the tank?
Can I set the flow horizontal so the magnet will be inside of the overflow box? Would that cause any problems? Side panel is too thick for the magnet 1” acrylic

That's my current flow set up on my peninsula tank with two gyres. fish and corals seem to enjoy it.
Do you think 2x maxspect 250(5300) will be overkilled for 65
