So my tank is 8ft long 30"width

Currently I have 2 vortech mp40's

I need to add more flow and these are the options I'm thinking about...

What do you guys think?

I can't see the picture that well on phone :( but they look awesome I will be treating myself to a pair :)
 
Might want to check out the jebao rw-20, it has a slightly wider flow than the wp60, plus if you have two you can set one as a slave and sync them together and adjust the flow separately. I had two rw-8s on my 75g and they worked great.
 
The MP 40's will not be enough in your tank. I had two in my 6ft tank it was lacking. I went with a Gyre 150 that I got yesterday. It seems to definetly produce a lot more flow then the 40's and I don't even have it on 100%.
 
I can't speak for the gyres but I have a jabeo rw 20 and a 15 and I have to say so far I've been very happy with them. The master slave mode allows u to synce the rw pumps of all sizes but still allows u to adjust the flow independently on each individual one depending on placement.
 
Yeah I think I'm gonna give the gyre a shot...

Thanks for all the responses
