My tank is peninsula style with dimensions 135x800x57cm (53x30x21").
Overflow and return are both at the blinded side. The wave makers are also at the same side.
Below a pic. Green marked are the 2 MP40s.

I find that in between the 2 wave makers there is very little flow and also at the opposite side of the tank.

Would it be a good idea to change the position of 1 MP40 to the other side to create a circular flow pattern?

What are the pros and cons of circular flow?
Corals are mainly sps.
