pump placement and sizing for 90 Gal

Hello,
I have a 90 Gallon aquarium with two turbelle 7300's hooked up to a 7095 controller. The tank dimensions are 48"X18"X24". I have two internal overflow boxes and have the 7300's placed right next to the overflow boxes on the back of the aquarium. I have them each pointed to the opposite front corner and have them on/off sequentially. The current seems to be good not great. I have some dead spots along the back of the tank and it looks like the detritus is not getting cleared completely away. To make a long story short I'd like to get more current in the tank. Do you suggest investing in two more additional 7300's and placing the in front of the overflow boxes on either side or upgrading to the 6000's? Any suggestions would be much appreciated. An alternative is to purchase the the wavebox. I'm planning on keeping sps in the tank. Again, you're advice is appreciated.

Thanks,

-Brent
 
Probably your best option is to either upgrade what you have to Streams, this will cost about $100 a pump and will give you a model which doesn't exist, somewhere between a 6000 and a 6100, otherwise, buy a 6000 to add to what you have. The wavebox would also be an option as it would work very well with what you have.
