On a 120 with mostly acro's you need three mp40's.
I have 5 running, two on the left two in the back and one on the right.
Dropping alk to 8 is a must too.
I had my tank running a 9.5 and now it's steady at 8 and I see all colors of the rainbow.

I'd say that s overkill.

You don't need three mp40s, two will do the trick. Just mount them at opposite ends pointed right at eachother. Five mp40s sounds like a lot, maybe a bit to much.

Alk of 8 is good, much higher than that for an extended period of time and my tips start burning.
