72x20x20 and softies. Very little LR in the display. Its a peninsula tank, so I want to get rid of the powerhead on the side that sticks out into the room. I think one vortech on the overflow side would be more than enough along with my return and current koralia. Especially for soft corals. I know the vortech's flow would hit the far wall no problem. So would the koralia though and I may not need to control the flow anyways.

I have a 240G though for the future and I want to use whatever I buy on that eventually.

Here is an idea of how the current tank is set up (stand/canopy need to be painted still :

i would put a k8 on each end,
i have 2 vortech's on a 4' tank you would need 2 minimum for a 8' tank or the far end would have almost nothing, i would skip the controller and buy 2 k8s
