Standard 120 MP40 Placement

[dustinc]

I have a standard 120 (48x24x24) that is currently cycling and will be SPS dominant. I currently have 2 MP40s and 2 more on the way. I would love the idea of running all 4 on the back wall, as to have no pumps on the side obstructing the view. Will that work? I have 2 closer to the center on each side of the overflow slightly above halfway and thought about the other 2 towards the outside of the glass, close to the bottom pane as the tank is bare bottom. Should this give plenty of varied flow with 2 different EcoSmart modes? Thank you

I think it depends a lot on your scape. You can try blowing bubbles into the water in front of the pumps and watch where they travel. That should give you a quick idea of what the flow looks like.
