Adding a pump to my 120g

Hi Roger. I've got a 4x2x2 120g LPS and zoa tank. Some easy SPS. I've had two 6055's running for a couple years with no problems. All coral seem happy enough. I've got two islands one larger and taller than the other. As coral has grown it seems I now have some dead zones to the side and behind the larger of the islands, under one of the pumps. I'm considering adding a pump to stir up detritus and give some flow to the dead areas and penetrate the rocks of the larger island. Would a 6095 across the tank from the larger island reach all the way across the tank to help? Would a wide flow 6105 be better? How would you use the three pumps? Both 6055's on one side and the additional pump opposite the larger island. Or the other way around? Your thoughts are appreciated. I use the 7095 controller so I guess a wave box is not an option. Thanks

A wavebox would include a 7092 so you would be fine with that option. I would consider a 6208 Wavebox or a 6095 the best options. The wavebox will likely be the best at what you are looking to solve as it gets flow to every recess and the corals will sway in a nice natural look.
