SCA 180 Gallon pump question

[jds]

Ok Im new to larger tanks, I've got a SCA 180, 5 feet long, 2 feet wide and 29 inches deep. I found a great deal on two of the Maxspect Gyre XF 350 (DUAL) 2 Pump Kit. So I will have lots of flow end to end, Do you think one MP40 would be good? For dead spots or at least between the back wall and rock? Or a MP60 even?

If it were me, I would use the Gyres, as you mentioned, at either end. Programmed for a back & forth cycle. Then also use an MP40 in the middle, with a gap in the rock work so you can point it from back wall to front. Then program A varying mode for the MP40 to keep things stirred up & as you see what works.

Depending on your rock work, you may want/need something else along the back side. Either powerheads and/or vacuuming it yourself.
