Recommendation for 125 gallons

[Zosyn]

Hello,

I recently got a standard AGA 125 gallon tank. I have an MP40QD going on the right side panel.

I have been wanting to get another Vortech to add flow. What is the recommendation as regards to adding a 2nd Vortech?

i am also setting up a standard marineland 125 and was going to order the mp40 for the right side. mine is going to be a fish only with two emperor 400 filters and a aquaripure nitrate filter. do you feel the mp40 flow is not enough ?

I would get a second MP40QD for the other side.

It looks like it can reach maybe 4/5th of the tank straight across on max power. I was leaning towards getting another mp40. But I read that some people get an mp10 and put it on the back wall as well. I wonder if there is an advantage to this.

I would stay with the mp40's on a 6' tank.
You don't need to run everything on full power.

I have 2 MP40wQD on my 125g 6ft tank. 1 on each end which I can't run them more than 35% or else my corals will get mad and close up. It would be either 1 MP60 or 2 MP40's but I rather just go with 2 mp40's. It creates enough flow that the polyps on my SPS extend but my zoas are never closed or being bashed by the current.
