6100 x 2 with multicontroller too much for 125 gallon

[jklaw]

hi,
i have a 125 all glass aquarium. it is 72 inches long. do you think 2 6100 and a mulitcontroller would be too much. i have mainly soft corals, lps and clams.

also, i have the pre-drilled built in overflows on my tank. will this affect placement of the 6100's. from the other threads, it sound like they should face each other from the side, is this correct?

does this flow video explain all these positioning questions?
thank you for your help.

I think for your intended inhabitants the 6000's are a better choice. The overflow boxes do affect installation but not negatively. I find it is easiest to clamp the pumps to the overflows and then you need no additional hardware. You can swivel the pumps so it is possible to go from one corner to the opposite diagonal corner and achieve good flow.
