Powerhead Suggestion

[Bailseeker]

Setting up a 6' 125 gallon mixed reef w/ sand. I have 2 MP40's for each side, but I'm trying to decide on what other powerheads and locations. Using a Modular Marine overflow. I've only had 4' tanks so looking for some advice from 6' tank owners. Looking to try and get it right the first time.

I was initially thinking of adding two Octo Pulse 4's on each side, but that's two large powerheads on 18" of glass. Other thoughts were adding MP10's or Octo Pulse 2's to each side with the MP40's to randomize the flow. What about two or three MP10's on the back wall?

Thanks in advance for providing advice. Have a great day!

I don't know if the mp10s will work on a 125. How thick is the glass?

Jebao. You can get 6 for the same price as one MP. I've had the same ones for years.

They say pay for quality upfront and you don’t need to spend again

Glass is 3/8"

I'm done with the Jebao's. Used them for the past 10 years and they definitely work, but I like the control of the Vortechs through Mobius and the Octo Pulse's through Apex.

How about a couple Octo Pulse 4's on the back wall and swiveled so it's pointed at a 45ish degree angle towards the front?

So then I guess you answered your own question..
