I'm wondering how to best set up a SPS Tank, 120 AGA dual overflow. My thought was to use two 6100's. I like to have one up at a 45 degree angle comming off of the overflow (mounting it to it). Directing the flow across the top of the tank. Then having the second one at the oppisite bottom side of the tank and point towards the other end of the tank and up at the surface. Using the multicontroller to regulate the flow. The one on the bottom of the tank would be mounted in the stream rock. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Oh, the tank will have a 2 inch sand bed.
 
The pump could not be at the absolute bottom or it will suck in sand and keep in mind the pumps need cleaning so you can't position them under a pile of rock, the Stream rock should be at the top of the stack for easy access. If the sand is fine you will have lots of trouble running 2 6100's in a 120. It would be fine for the corals but you should consider using star board or coarse sand/ crushed coral. Otherwise 2 * 6000 would be a better choice.
