![]() im not a fan of the positioning of the powerheads. I like to use them at each end of the tank and position one closer to the front and one closer to the back. this way you have a current that basically does a circle. as for adding I don't have enough experience with the other styles but im going to try a gyre next

![]() What going mixed reef it's about finding the balance with flow. When I added sps years ago I thought I'd have to ramp up my flow so I bought some pumps. What I ended up doing is stressing out my lps and they wouldn't open. Lost so,e torches and frogspawn due to too much flow. I now just have my return pump, a regulate hydor on one side and a gyre on the other side of my 120 gallon. This creates enough flow up top for my sps while leaving the bottom of my tank gentle enough for my lps. I'd suggest adding an sps to what you have now and see how it does. With a couple of mp10s in there you may be ok.
