Thanx for your reply! I understand the way your tank is built it would'nt work so well with 2 MP60. I knew the 6255 were powerful pumps but never had the chance to see it on such a huge tank! But that's good thing, I will only buy one for my future 120g! Still, you need a lot of flow with all the SPS you have in there! Always cool to see something different then the Vortechs in such a volume of water, even if use both. Congrats again on your setup!I was quite surprised as well. Admittedly, I thought two MP60 would do. But when I got the units in hand and try to place them, I notice there's a big problem with the tank set up with the MP60s. The overflow box is too wide forcing me to place the MP60 way too close to the side glass. The flow I got was unsatisfactory. I order two 6255s to replaced them and was shocked that the LPS at the other end of the tank were almost peeling off due to the strong flow. I backed it off to about 30-40% and they seems to push plenty of flow. I think these pumps would handle a 8' tank no problem.
I had holes drilled on the eurobraced on the other end just in case I need to return some flow on that side but ended up not needing it.
My return is a Vextra L1 running at 50%.

Yeah, agree. But look can always be arranged! A faulty wet side when you are away for 3 weeks can be the end of it all.... Thanx again and keep posting!Thanks!
I would use Tunze if I need the flow to travel more than 5'. Anything shorter than that is a matter of looks vs. stronger flow.
Where's that incredible stand come from?After the drywall was done. My wife and I ppent all week painting. Never thought painting can be so much work. Did one coat of primer and two coats of BM. I was thinking about focusing on the tank move and tank transfer and not do anything else to the basement .
Tank stand unwrapped and leveled.
Ready for the tank move! Will cut the 3/4" plywood and foam board to place on top of the stand.
