Sometimes people over think a problem , keep it simple , a proper size extension cord or power strip to extend it.
If not DIY and modify / change flow so no dead spots in tank. From what you say to push to other side , sounds like inlet and outlet on same side of tank creating dead spot on the other side. You said canister type , so only need a short hose to correct. Photo will tell all can you post one ?
Flow rates are calculated without media by manufactures ! 200 gph is good for a baby or a small juvenile , once around 3" the bio load will be to great. Thus should be cleaned weekly with 25% water changes to help. Do you have it setup with media that came with filter ?
What are the parameters of the water ?
