Two MP10wES or One MP40wES?

For my 215: 72" x 30" x 24" tall, do I get 1 MP60 or 2 MP40s? Went to their site, but I'm still uncertain. Mixed reef.

2x MP40wES is much better for random water movement.

that's what I'm leaning towards. I'm just praying I don't end up having to add a 3rd. (OUCH!)

have you seen how big the MP60wES is? i would much prefer smaller 2x MP40wES with random flow. should be just fine.

Is your tank going to be SPS dominated? If so, you may want to start with MP60wES on one side and add-on MP40wES on the other later. If you're not concentrating on SPS, then 2x MP40wES should be just fine.

Mostly SPS, some LPS and softies (so it can't be TOO strong)
