Optimize stream placement in 125g

I have two 6100 streams in my 125g (72x18x22) reef tank.
Here is an approximate scale drawing:

Right now, I have pumps placed (using the magnetic brackets) at (2) and (4) both pointing at (A).
I am not currently using a controller (waiting on the 7095 to arrive), but instead have both pumps on constantly turned all the way down (30%?).
Question, outside of rock placement and obstacle considerations, what are some optimal ways to place streams to maximize chaotic flow within my tank? How about once I get my controller?
 
I would prefer 1 and 3 and aimed about 1ft before A. It would be better to run one at a time and pulse them between say 30% and 50% since the pulsing really helps disperse the flow.

I understand the placement, I'll try that. On the pulsing, is that something I'll understand once I have the controller? Is there a manual I can look at ahead of time?
 
Update:
I tried this evening to place the 6100s at (1) and (3), aiming short of center (A) by about a foot. This is not possible with the magnetic mounting brackets. That bracket does not allow the stream to be rotated far enough over.
 
The farthest the pump can be rotated to one side should be sufficient. I don't yet have a copy of the final manual for the 7095 but it is much more understandable than the 7094.
