Placement of Live Rock and circulation

My LFS told me to keep my rock off the back of my tank 3 -4 inches for proper water circulation. Is this something that is typical in a reef tank? All the tanks I've viewed online appear to have their rock stacked against the back.

Also, I have 2 - Tunze Nano-stream powerheads and a Tunze 730 Multi-controller. My tank is an Oceanic Staphire Tek 120g. Do I need more than 2 powerheads for my tank. I plan on putting softies, LPS and MAYBE some SPS one day.

It has 4 adjustable supply nozzles that protrude out from the back. Should these be pointing in any particular direction so they don't interupt the "flow" of my 2 powerheads on each side of the tank?

My LFS said to eliminate "dead zones" but I don't know if that means to make sure the current is strong enough ANYWHERE in the tank to move an object about the tank or if it means something else.

Thank you in advance for helping me with my multiple questions.

John
