maxijet mod placement to avoid the sandstorm???

I have had these 2 maxi jet mods, the high ones, in my tank for about a year... I have been feeling like I needed to move them from where I have had them to get better circulation a nd water movement... but everywhere I move them I get that darn sandstorm again...How do those of you with these mods and a big tank place them for maximum effectivemess without kicking up the blasted sand???? Thought my sandstorm days were over. If I put them back like I had them, I don't feel all areas receive enough movement.,

I have mine midway down angled towards the surface. They still move the water around alot like that without kicking up the sand.
