Help me determine ideal flow

I have a 75G 5"DSB tank with softies and lps under 660 watts of vho lighting. (Tank is an Oceanic RR). My return pump delivers 620GPH from a split lockline located on the left rear above the overflow. All return flow enters from the left rear corner of the tank. I currently augment flow with two maxijet 1200's located at opposite ends of the tank on the rear panel. I have some good sized corals ie. Two Frogspawns, Anchor, Hammer etc. I do not intend to house sps. These are beautiful specimens that wave in the flow, but I feel that the right side of the tank doesn't receive as much as it should. I'm interested in tunze, but am "flow-shy", and wondering if they are two strong for this set-up. I'm looking at Seio's as well do to their lower flow.

Is this tank a candidate for tunze? Would I go with just one on the right side of the tank aimed at the flow coming in from the left? Comments/ideas are appreciated.

I don't recommend Streams for the Euphyllia type corals. Your tank is not very large and it will be hard to place them so they are not overwhelmed by flow.
