Need advice on flow. How many MP60's?

[TRENT_G]

The tank is a 300DD. What would you recommend two MP60's or three? It will be dominantly SPS and lots of fish. Going to try and do a Bonsai look rather than stuff it with rock. Thanks in advance.

Anyone????

Maybe I should have put it this way. Will two MP60’s be enough?

You're better off with 4 MP40s

BRS is having some crazy deals on ecotech products from nov. 29- dec. 2- 20% off!

I run one at each end of a 108"x40" and two mp40s on the back.

Buddy of mine runs a MP60 on either end of his 300DD and a MP40 on the back.

Thanks to all of you that gave feedback. I think I will go with the two MP60's on the ends and one Mp40 on the back wall. This way I don't have to run the MP60's full bore.

Now it's wait for the big sale. :bounce3:

I have the 300DD with 2 mp60's and the flow is unreal. I do not run mine past 75% because it creates an undertow and wips up the sand. If you are going with the Bonsai tree look you wont have to worry about dead spots. My desjardini tank loves jumping infron to them just to get blasted around the tank.

We have a 270G tank and run two MP60's. I generally don't run them past 60% and the entire tank has a great flow.

I just bought 2-mp60 for my 550g. 7'x3'x42" tall. Planning on running one or both on the ends and supplement with mp40's on sides as/where needed.
