I'm looking for some advice, and do not know which combination of pumps would be ideal. My plan is to purchase 2 or 4 Controllable Stream or Nanostream pumps. The tank is a 72gal bow front. I'll try and cover the needed info here, feel free to ask any questions I need to answer to clarify.
Here are two pictures of my reef

Living Room View
This pic is a diagram of the top view.
The furniture pillars are an obstacle, and I want to avoid drilling out the hole for the back side of the magnet. There is some space between the wall and the furnature to fit two pumps near the Living Room side. I don't know if that would be enough. Today I have dead spots, mainly on the living room view at the bottom. (BTW the red line is the return from my sump)
What option seems best from what you see? I have an Apex controller with the variable speed ports and plan to buy the variable controller cables when I buy the pumps. What is there today obviously got me to where I'm at - but I see how the corals near certain flow of different pumps really thrive, moreso the SPS with extended polyps.
Option 1: Qty 2 stream 6105 (lots of flow but at each end, don't know if I would still have dead spots)
Option 2: Qty 2 nanostream 6055 and Qty 2 nanostream 6095
Option 3: Qty 4 nanostream 6055
Option 4: Qty 4 nanostream 6095
Appreciate your time. //Dave
