If you are just trying to stir up the bottom to suspend detritus, not sure this is the best way. The flow will be concentrated in one spot, which will be very clean, but the detritus will just be moved to somewhere else in your tank.
I also have the Coralife DC 5800's, one on each side of a 6 ft tank. I set them to turbulence mode which varies where the flow meets to blast the bottom and doesn't let detritus build up in one area. I think all the wave maker type pumps, like ecotech and tunze, work that way.
