Question about powerhead positioning?

I have a 29g biocube with 1 powerhead on the right and a return line on the left, both creating flow. My question is, what's the best pattern/position that I should point these to create the best possible circulation? Is what I have enough or should I possibly get another powerhead?
 
Hard to say if you need another what what is the flow of the return pump and of the second powerhead? If you can point the second one at the return you may get more random flow with that. Or you can get one of those deals you put on the output of the powerhead or return and it rotates to create a random flow.
 
I have 2 29gal biocube HQI both with a Koralia 425. I position the flow from the built in to be even to the base (aka wide part facing down) and slightly to the middle of the glass. The Koralia's I put a few inches in and below the top right corner facing slightly down to put flow across things higher up in my tanks and to intersect just below where the built in flow comes. Has worked great for me with that combo.

Hope that helps.
