Mp40 placement on a 125g rr.

[riv]

Would like to know where I should be placing two mp40s on a 125g long rr tank? Currently have them on each side, high on tank n next to the overflow box. Any suggestions our welcome n appreciated. Thanks for your time.

I got 2 and 1 each side but one lower than other. SPS, LPS or soft coral?

This is how I would use them also.

I have my pumps placed on each side of the tank, but one is towards the front and the other is towards the back wall. It keeps the flow in a circular formation and ensure there are no dead spots anywhere in the tank. There's current in front and behing my rockwork. It also swirls the detritus in one location in the tank so I can siphon it all out in only a few minutes; maybe with less then a gallon of water.

The problem is I have dual overflow boxes in the back corners so I cannot place one more back then the other. Thanks Walt!

Have you thought about adding an MP10 on the back wall? Then you would be able to enable EcoSmart mode. I'm getting 2 MP40s this weekend and plan on putting one of my MP10s on my rear wall to enable it eventually.

Actually I got 2 MP40s and 3 Tunze in the back.
