Am I crazy? Two MP40's in 60g cube?

[FishBeard]

So right now I have an MP40wES on the left side glass, and an MP20 on the back glass right side of the overflow in my Marineland 60g cube. I have the MP20 dialed down to about 50-60% in reef crest mode, and the MP40 around 70-80% in Ecosmart Nutrient mode. I'm anticipating upgrading the MP20 to an MP40wES so I can run the pumps in Nutrient mode anti-sync, both around 60-70%. My gold rimmed tang couldnt be happier, surfing the gyre created between the 2 pumps. Anyone think I will tear the seams apart on the tank with my plan? I figure holiday bonus time, and tax return around the corner I might as well take advantage now, and Ill have the 2 pumps for later when I upgrade tank size. I was going to just replace the 20 with an MP10wES, but figure I can always just dial down the 2nd pump. This is an SPS dominant tank, with substrate. So, does anyone think I am crazy to put this much flow into my tank?

You won't hurt anything, just dial them in to where they need to be.

It's tons of flow,I still feel bad for the tang in a tiny 2ft cage.

Thanks for the concern, the tang is still really small. It had plenty of room in the 14 gallon biocube i had it QT'd in. I'll most likely have a larger tank before he outgrows his comfort in the cube, and if not, he will go to a more appropriate home at that time.

You will be fine,especially that you keep them dialed down ,not at 100%.I recently added two Tunze 6055 to my existing 2 MP40 going at full power.

I use a Mp40 on my small 40 gallon reef and it has to be turned down all the way or everything gets blown around like a hurricane in there.
