Flow for 400G

[kenjung]

I am planning a build of 400 G acrylic tank I purchase brand new from a member here. Its a year late but it is getting started.

Tank dimension are 96 X 36 X 30

My plan for flow will be, please suggest if it will not work.

3X vortech Mp40 mount to back of tank.
2X tunze wavebox 6215 each mount at opposite corners.

What about for your main pump?

Returns 2x Water Blaster HY-5000 Pump rate 1100 gph. So all together 11000 gph of flow not enough for SPS. I am banking on the Tunze to complement the pumps, I never have experience setting up the tank this size or the Tunze. My current tank is a 150 G with 2 Mp40.

I think for SPS you want about 50X the tank volume.
