i haven't think about it. it seems a good idea, will it block the wave when i put it to closer to the front?
Not positive but from the pictures it looks like both of your wave makers are pretty close to being lined up. Meaning they crash into each other instead of circulating. Suggest you watch the Bulk Reef Supply video on wave maker placement. Might help you decide.

Place one on the tight side as you have it and the other on cack wall as mentioned to create a gyre effect and sediment/detritus should not be able to settle in those dead zones. Other option is to place a Nano pump such as Jebao RW-4 lower left center to keep flow at lower half
