one of my tunze 6105s is pointed at the top and my return is at the top. so lots of surface ripple

I had the same issue on my 225. Even with a pair of 6100s aimed slighlty towards the top there were 2 corners that always stayed a safe haven for the oil slick.

That was with a dart gold as a return too. I never did sort that out before I tore it down but I'm sure if you fiddle with aim and placement you can break up those comfy zones.
