Have the mp40s set at reef crest with one being a slave both set to 70% welcome to options on different setting or changing the position of the pump but right now feel like it’s a big circle going on. Was trying to help with nutrient exporting is why I was thinking of adding another pump or 2.

Hello been doing alot of back and forth and cant really decide on a wake maker to add to my tank looking for some input!! Currently have a 200g 6ft x 30x 24H. I Have 2MP40 on opposite sides looking to add to them as i dont have enough flow currently. Was torn between 2 Nero 7s or 2 more MP40 OR 2 MaxSpect Gyre 350 cloud. Any and all thoughts/recommendations welcome!!!
My tank is very similar to yours and I use two ice cap 4k gyers on either end of the tank up top. They are linked together to push water to and from, and I'm reversing the pumps as the flow reverses. Also use a small gyre Behind The Rock that is on a random flow to push out detritus from behind the rock and to mix up the current. The final pump I have running is one of the Tunze 6125 at the top of the tank on the back wall aiming forward. The point of this is to break up the dryers intermittently and push water onto the front glass and down. I said this on a predetermined schedule that I built. Yes, three jars and one frenzy is a lot but your current is critical fo removing the detritus. Hope this helps
 
Thanks for all the replies definitely helping me decide on what direction to go appreciate it!
 
Ended up getting this to add gotta say impressed with the Jebao it can move some water. Don’t like the cord in the water but we will see how it holds up. Still working on getting the tuner set up but can already tell an improvement with dead spots with just the jebao.
