Circulation Pump Placement

[WeedyDragon]

Hey Everyone!
So I finally got my second Koralia 425 pump for my 29 gallon. But now I'm not sure what would be the best flow setup with my rockwork. I was wondering if any of you could give me recommendations on pump placement.

My skimmer intake is in the back-middle of tank with the outlet just to its left and aimed at the front left corner of tank (outlet flow hits the corner of the aquarium and shoots down). The only thing I can adjust on the skimmer would be the direction of the outlet. Here are some pics of my rock work when I initially set it up.

I read that a lot of people bounce their flow off of the glass since corals dont like direct flow. So I was thinking of directing skimmer outake to left back corner since thats the most stagnant area of tank. Having one pump on the upper left side of tank, aimed diagonally down to right back corner (behind wall of rock). The other pump on the upper right side aimed at the front middle (glass) of tank.

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!!

put both pumps in the back corners down low, point them up at eachother.

Do you mean place them on the sides of tank, towards back corner? Or on the actual back of tank? And as far as aim, right at each other? Or both facing front middle of tank? Sorry for the questions. Haha!

put them on the back or the sides, try and get them down low as you can, then point the streams at each other toward the middle top. then play around till you get good flow
