The obvious answer is to get the flow going clockwise for a while...then have it reverse and go counter-clockwise for a while...then...
That's what I did with my hex tank and it worked well. I used a SQWD, but you would probably want more control over the timing of the flow reversal than a SQWD offers.

Untamed - thanks for your response. Can you tell me what the reasoning is behind having the current switch back and forth and why it's neccessary.
Also, how big was your hex tank? Thanks

I'm gonna sound like a knob but i don't really know what kind of lights they are....they came with it. There's 2 lights with 4 bulbs per light. 2 of the bulbs are blue and 2 white on each light. 24" long.
Yes i have a magnet cleaner...just a 1" x 3", i'm still exploring other options but that seems to work well so far...
