MP 60 on 180 gallon tank

[jverna1]

I am currently running two Vortech MP40's on a sps dominated :crazy1:180 gallon tank. One on each side. I just purchased a MP60. Im gonna put the MP60 on one side and the two MP40's on the other side. Its gonna have some massive flowage. Does anybody else have this configuration and if so, how does it work for you?http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/images/smilies/rolling_eyes.gif

Tagging along, I am debating this combo, 3 MP40 ES or 2 40s and 1 60 on a 5 foot long 180 gal.

BTW, the 60 looks like a beast.

I would say to use the three sides and take advantage of a more diverse flow approach.
Lets say the mp 60 on the left side and an mp40 on the right and backpanes.

Have you had a chance to set it up yet? Looking forward to your results. Im debating a similar setup.

I just set it up. I have the MP 60 on the left side and I have an MP 40 on the back and on the right side. I have been running them in reef crest mode and the alternating current is unbelievable. Really sweet set up.

I changed it to Ecosmart mode with Tidal Swell setting. I think this will be the best setting for my configuration. Im using the MP60 as the master and the MP40 on the right set to the orange mode and the MP40 on the back set to the blue mode. I think every once in a while I will put it on Nutrient Transport Mode to get detritus and fish crap into the water column. These pumps are unbelievable.

Thanks for the great info. I'm setting-up a new 180g (6'x2'x2') now.
