Thoughts & Recommendation - MP40 vs. MP60 - 210Gal

[SomeDude12]

Was wondering your thoughts and recommendation for my 210, 72x24x29. Currently, I run 3 MP40's. One on each end and one in the middle. All, are set to Reefcrest. The two sides are set to anti-sync. The back, is solo and only set to ramp to 30'ish%, to keep from blowing LPS & such too hard that lay on the bottom front of the tank. The two end MP40's are ran at 100%, but I'm not so sure the flow is adequate in the center of the tank. Noise, has never been a problem. Would you recommend sticking with the MP40's or upgrading the two end pumps, to 60's?

If it appears to working fine now, why change?

What makes you think the flow in the center is not enough?

Close observation of polyps on SPS & movement of water flow in the area.

Here's a video for observation and some close shots of the SPS.

SomeDude,

For more information on flow, I would recommend taking a look at our VorTech flow calculator found here: http://ecotechmarine.com/calculator/

After watching your video I and using the VorTech flow calculator I think you should keep what you have. Maybe lower the center MP40 or increase its %.
