Ive got 2 rw8s and an mp25 in a 120 and its not enough , I know the flow is wide but I don't think they put out as much as they advertise.

I think so too. Marketing after all

Have you played around with different flow settings? I find so many people get obsessed with the "wave" settings, but forget that the other modes are probably better at stirring up detritus.

Also, if you're going to have these on the back, I'd suggest having one on either side.

Yap I did try other modes but the dead spot at remains there directly below the power head. And the rock makes it worse. Here's a picture to show the location of the PU. The dead spot appears to be around the mag cleaner at the bottom left corner at the back of the tank. The flow pushes everyone to that corner and that spot reminds me of Jurassic Park I (the pile of poop lol).
