Thanks for your time!

The return to my tank is currently split into 4 outputs: output from a T plumbing fitting, forked twice via loc line fittings. Id like to increase the output effect - trying to stir the dead areas a little more. The outputs are aimed in these trouble areas - but not as effective as I'd like.

Do you think removing the forks from my loc line would have a positive effect on lower flow areas? Are there better nozzle fittings I should consider? Would a round, or a reducing round have better effect? Currently I have 4: .5 inch x 1.25 inch wide flares.
 
I have 4 in my 90g tank just like you. I flow 900gph from the return (taking head pressure into account). I have 2 wavemakers as well. I don't know how big your tank is, but a wavemaker might be helpful.
