Default Flow for a 6-8' sps peninsula

Hey everyone,

Looking for some feedback as to whether this would work or not...
I will be setting up a 6-8' long sps dominant peninsula tank.

While needing to meet my tank inhabitants needs I also want to set this tank up as clean and slick as possible.

I was thinking of having the returns on the overflow end of the tank.
And using a couple gyres vertically on each side of the overflow as well.
Would this provide enough flow across the 6-8' span?

Or am I just going to end up with a very turbulent overflow end, and just adequate flow on the far end?

I am wanting a rimless tank, so to show this off, I'm wanting to avoid using a canopy or hood. So that means not being able to run plumbing along the top of the tank to the opposite end, as you see on a lot of peninsula set ups.

What do you all think?
