Flow rate for 120gal

[andrew807]

Good day all,

I have a question about flow rates for my 120gal. It’s a standard 72” long x 18” wide x 21” tall. I was at bulk reef supplies the other day picking up some supplies and came across an entire box of Ecotech MP10 dry sides so on a whim I picked up four of them and will be picking up the wet side later on this year.

I am moving my tank and hoping that between the four of them and the return pump from my sump it will be enough flow.

If anyone has any thoughts on this I would appreciate it.

Thanks all

I don't think MP10s will cut it unless you line them up across the back and crank them up. I ran 4 mp40s on my 72x24x24" 180g. I have MP10s but have never had them on anything larger than a reefer 170. I currently have two on a 20g AIO.
In addition to dry sides your also going to need controllers and cables so I'm not sure how cost effective it will be piecing it all together.
