As you can see from the pic, there is a mix of corals. The SPS on the sand is growing like crazy, as is the monti. The low light corals, like mushrooms, aren't growing much anymore, although I assume they have just run out of space.

Lookin' good!
So from looking at the tank, the first thing I'd try is placing one powerhead down low on the left side, well below the hammer, pointing straight to the front and angle the head up at 15 to 30 degrees. This will give you a nice current that will rip across the front and give some vertical flow. Make sure you don't point it right at your hammer; you want to aim just below it as they don't like direct flow.
On the right side I'd place the other powerhead an inch or two above the red mushies and aim it at the surface and to the left a bit... imagine if you were aiming from the front dead center of the tank at the surface. This should keep those nem tentacles away from your candy cane and give that xenia good flow (at which point it'll go b-a-bananas).
Point the return from your sump pump almost right at your monti, just down and to the left a bit, again making sure not to blast the hammer directly. The monti will love the flow.
