MP40 placement on 180 Gallon - Im drilling the tank

[ecam]

Im debating on the placement of my 3 mp40s inside the 180. Im considering placing them all on the back wall. Any comments?

Concerns are:
- The pressure that it might place on the tank since its only going 24 inches and bouncing off the glass as opposed to going length-wise
- Will the MP40s on the same side of the overflow, prevent the dietrus from getting to the overflow....


The next question would be, if I run it on the wall, which mode should i run and which shoud be synch (S) anti-synch (A).. Here is what im thinking......

......40S................overflow................. ........40A


.............40S...........................WEBO-40

I would put them all on the back wall. You can adjust them just right for your tank. I wouldn't worry about any pressure on the front glass to be honest. Plus on the back glass keeps the side clear and clean!

I wouldn't load that wall up with too much live rock..I've seen a lot of leaks start at the back of tanks from that constant pressure of weight over time..

I have 4 mp40s in my 180. All on the back wall, all full reefcrest.
