Opninions on setting up pump & powerheads to obtain maximum coverage and flow

Just looking for input or diagrams showing your recommendations for obtaining the maximum flow in my 6' -125g using the following equipment:
2 - maxijet 900 with SureFlow attachment
2 - maxijet 1200 no mods
1- 1200gph (Mag Drive 12) pump running from sump to DT. I could divide the return line to have two inlets into the DT or just use one.
- 1 WaveMaster that the maxijets can be connected into.
I have toyed with different setups in the past but just looking for ideas that other hobbiest may have that I have not thought of. Not sure which brand of tank I have but it does have the center glass support along the top which would limit anything being perfectly centered unless I use the SureGrip magnets for the maxijets. The tank is an in-wall tank so I have access to the back and 2 sides of the tank if needed. thanks!

I've got my return line Y-ed off in the center of my tank with one branch going left and one right. I've got a Tunze nanostream (1180gph) pointing upward towards the center, and a maxijet mod (1600gph) on the opposite side pointing towards the center. So in a nutshell the flow from each source it pointing towards each other.
