I think you above illistration will work just fine... why? because I assume most of your rockwork with be down the middle of the tank, so unless you want direct flow blasting your rockwork/corals at that end of the tank, I think you will be just fine with 2x mp40's positioned like your pic. Remeber Vortechs have a nice wide flow pattern... plus you will have your 2 returns (which I assume are adjustable for direction) and the K4 at the other end of the tank, which you could mount in the middle...

Don't worry about the flow with the MP40W's the control you get has a very broad range to suit almost anyone's needs. I have a single in my 72 bow in short pulse mode at approx 50% power I'm generating a 2" wave and it's aimed directly at my rock work. The width field on the MP40W's is amazing,

BTW your setup is looking really good! nice pics.

I think you should go with a couple of Tunze 6105 and the new 7096
I had them and I was very satisfied, I can’t tell the same on my couple of mp40 gen2, noisy and unreliable

I don't understand when people say Vortechs are noisy?? I have one in my bedroom and I can never hear it...

Not saying I don't like them, but I can definitely hear them. What mode do you have yours on? I have one on Reef Crest and one on Lagoon and I can sure hear them ramp up. I have also run into the reliability issue recently...

I run reef crest at 100%. But only an mp20

I guess I will try one first and see if the noise bothers me. If not then I'll get a second. If so then I'll get a Koralia 6 or something equally powerful and ugly.

By the way, thanks for the K4! It is currently circulating my second 33g tub of saltwater that I'm prepping for the tank :-) Oh, and I'm still interested in those flat pieces so give me a quote :-)
