Default Water Movement

So As you are all painfully aware, I'll be tearing my tank down on Saturday for the big move.
Something I've never been really happy with is the flow in my tank. I have 4 MJ 1200 and a mag12 as my return, but there is still areas that get little to no flow. This would be a great time to improve this problem.
So right now I have 2 MJ 1200 on each end of the tank they are all on a wave maker pro the return flows slightly down along the back side of the tank.
My Rock work is part of the problem as it is in a "u" shape from left to right. so this creates a dead space in the lower insides of the "U". I have a mix of SPS and LPS I have tried Tunze 6060 and just can't make it work with the LPS. My poor Bubble was pined to the glass

So if anyone has any improvement Ideas I'd be open to them.

This is an old pic but you get the Idea
