I setup a JBJ24 AIO a few weeks ago. Got a Jebao RW-4 and a Maxijet 1200 return. I was wondering, and I figure this can be used for reference for all cube owners, what is the optimum powerhead/wavemaker/return position?

Right now I have the RW4 in the back left corenr pointing forwards and up. The return is split, one end is a fan and is pointing behind the rockwork and on the rockwork. The other end is just bare and is pointing towards the front where the flow collides with the RW4. Is there a better placement?
 
It all depends on your aquascape and other factors such as coral placement and such. If you can see zero large dead flow spots, then everything should be okay as long as your not blowing LPS corals out of their skeleton.
