New to the cube world

[newbreefer316]

I'm new to the cube world and I'll be setting up a new to me rimless 60g cube into an existing basement system and I've got a few questions about equipment.

Lighting - I've got a 6 bulb 24" ati w/ dual reefbrite xhos. Would it be wide enough to cover the full tank and strong enough to cook some sps in the upper half of the tank?

Flow - I plan to get a good amount of flow via the return but what kind of pumps work best on cubes? Would 2 mp10's on the back wall work well?

Have you tried using Ecotech Marine's flow calculator tool?

Also, I do think 2 MP10's would do the trick just fine.

how thick is your glass... i would use mp 10 but my glass is 10mm think i would have to go with mp 40. ive been talking myself out of it but ill end up doing it in the end

I have 2 MP40's on my 180 which is 3/4" thick. I had 2 MP10's on my 40 cube which was 1/8" thick. Max for an MP10 is 3/8".
