I have been looking online for some sort of diagram/help on how to get my water flow better, yet at the same time not over do it. Basically don't want to see the bottom glass of my tank because of the tornado i'm causing. My main problem is the red slimy, bubbly algae growing on my sand and some rock. This stuff is rapidly spreading. I have 4 power heads in this 90 gal tank. 3 are the maxi jet i believe 1200, and one hydor koralia.. like the next to smallest one.. can't remember the size and i'm at work so no way to get it at the moment. Two of my maxi jet's have the rotating end on them. I plan on buying more power heads.. it just seems like it's fixin to get really cluttered in the tank really soon. Any help with a link or anything would be greatly appreciated.
Flow Diagram?

Do youself a favor and setup a sump, loose the powerheads, maybe get a tunze or similar cheaper propeller driven powerhead instead of the jets.

Your flow sounds good, try this for the red slim algae:

And they pick up about 10 emerald crags to take care of the bubble algae. They are the only thing that can keep it under control.

That link is not working for some reason. As far as the sump goes I would love to set one up, but im in the process of building a house and the place we are staying, or even under my stand, don't allow enough room for it... atleast not the one's premade at the LFS. The bubbles are in the algae by the way... not seperate bubble algae. When i get home, i'll take a pic and post it.
