I need some advice on powerheads and placement.

My existing tank is 72”x18”x23” and I have two MP40 and a MP60. The tank is going to be replaced with a tank 84”x30”30”.

I was thinking the following:

4 MP40 on the back wall of the Tank

2 MP60 Right side of the tank, and 2 MP40 on the back wall.

2 Panta Rhei Pro 43 on the Right Hand side of the Tank.

I would like to keep the left side tank free of power heads but can place them their if need be.

The tank will have two 1-inch returns, on the left and right side back wall of the tank and the overflow is an external overflow.

I am open to anything and everything as this is a new tank upgrade.

Thanks
 
Provided the glass isn't two thick, four MP40s along the back would work really good. You may also want the two Panta Rhei Pro 43 in addition to the MP40s based on the size of the tank.

Parker's Reef on YouTube has a similar sized tank which might give you some ideas on placement.

 
Yea.. Im in the same boat!!

New tank, no corals yet and Im obsessed with where to place pumps!
