ok let me give you a quick background.... I am having issues with red slime ( i think.) The previous owner of the tank warned me I might see it and gave the the stuff to take care of it..... Well it created trapped air everywhere i considered "a problem area." I stormed my tank to get rid of the bubbles and they came back. I did a 20% percent take change instead of the usual 10% and it started to get better but still some air, let me add, all perimeters are normal. I been researching, I am think poor water flow. and in fact in those area are the weakest currant. attached is a link to a pic, you will need an explanation to read it. 1-"Marineland" Maxi-Jet 900 Multi-use Submersible Pump and Power Head 230 GPH*2 -"Marineland" Maxi-Jet 600 Multi-use Submersible Pump and Power Head 160 GPH. They will be circles in Yellow. Top 2, pointed up and bottom left pointed to the back of the tank away from rock. And, a Supreme Classic 700 GPH Refugium Pump connected to the PVC pushing water in from the sub tank, marked in orange. Lastly, the problem areas, in red.

I want to get more circulation the the problem areas. Notice the cave. Maybe shoot a jet through the back and out the front? what do you think? please help.... and my anemone has not planted yet so he should move to where it is better for him after i would think

Thanks. I just read it. But also, what do you think about changing the circulation of my tank?
