Shimmer Effect

I am not really new to the hobby..more stumped. I recently purchased a Jabeo RW-8 Wavemaker for my tank and I took out the multiple power heads. I no longer have the shimmer effect from my LED lights because I no longer have the power heads pointed at the surface creating ripples.

Am I going to have to use a single powerhead for this, or is there a mode I can run that will do it for me?

shimmer = point source lighting + "ripples" on surface of water..

Either point the RW more towards the surface or add another powerhead to do the same.
simple
