I have a RedSea Reefer 170 (tank dimensions are 24x20x20) and I am about to add a second Vortech MP10W to my build. My current Vortech is centered on the left pane about 1/3 from the top.

**My question is would it be alright for a full sps tank if I place both vortechs on either side but on the back wall facing forward?

My only concern with having both pumps on the back pane is flow from left to right. Does any of you do what I am talking about with good success?

Thanks, Jared
 
I've seen tanks like that yes. A lot of stores I go to have mp40s on their back of their tanks. Think of it like this. As long as you have enough circulation and the corals that need the flow get the flow than that's okay. Just make sure they are spread apart well
