Talking Sea Swirl placement question

I haven't seen this question asked so I figure I'd ask. Has anyone positioned their Sea Swirls on the ends of there tank pointing each other instead of on the back of the tank? The reason I ask is that with the SS's on the back when they point directly towards the front glass water splashes over the top of the tank and the sand gets kicked up something fierce. I now have a huge trench in the sand across most of the front of the tank. Is there any reason I shouldn't mount the SS on the ends? I attached a picture to give you an idea of what I'm talking about. Basically choose option 1 or option 2. BTW, this is on a 125g tank (72"x18"x22").

How can you do option #2 with a canopy on the tank? I'm in the same situation and was going to do option #1, but if I get mount them on the sides somehow(with the canopy on the tank) I'd consider that as well

JG, I need to build a canopy to house MH anyway so I would just extend each side about 3"-4" to allow for the SS's. If you are using a standard canopy I don't think this would be an option.
