Which Tunze power heads to add

So I want to increase the flow in my tank to stir up the detritus and also take advantage of the pulse mode of my 7096 controller. I already have two Tunze 6105 pumps that produce pretty good flow but they kinda max out about 5-6ft from where they are positioned. My tanks dimensions are 118" X 24" X 28". I want to know should I add two more 6105's, two different size pumps, or should I try a wave box. My ultimate goal is to get that swaying affect of coral in my water column.
 
With that size tank you might want like 2 wave boxes and both of those 6105s in the middle. Or 4-6255s 2 at each end and the 2 6105s in the middle. This would give you a lot of random flow and pretty good waves. Might be able to get 2 gyre powerheads and use those 6105s in the middle. A 118" long tank is going to be hard to get a good wave going.

I was thinking that having such a long tank would cause things to be difficult for a wave, I just want to have some good flow som I'm either going to go with the two gyre pumps on the ends and move my two 6105's into the center or just get two more 6105's. I'm leaning more toward the two gyre pumps, I really like the wide flow pattern and you can program them as well. Thanks for the advice
 
I will say that 1 gyre will give you more flow than 2 of the 6105s. It would be like adding 4-6105s
