Return pump flow/tank flow ???s

So I have the standard split return with the adjustable flex lines. They sort of point to the sides of the tanks. Tried bouncing them off the front. Hard to get them right with my two Kor PHs. With the m pointing to the sides, seems they just sweep stuff into the LR. Doubt I'm getting any real flow through my LR.

What I was thinking was using some PVC to make a spray bar. Distribute the flow down the back of the tank along the length of it. Then have the power heads moving the top and outside of the rock.

Is this common???

What other options do I have besides the standard split return???

Just for reference. The return lines, powerheads on both sides of the tank, and the rockwork.

Will the output bend enough to allow you to point them down the back glass? That would push the water out the bottom toward the front. But like das said the tank looks great. How long has it been set up?
