    I vote for 4 60's lol.. jk but seriously I think two 40's at the end and a 10 on the back wall will do you well, but not the bank... at all. Thats one downfall about longer tanks, the flow has to be a lot more to reach (if thats what you want) I think 2 40's on the end for now and when you can afford more a 10, and you should be set on power heads for life.

    Putting one on the back isn't an option:/ But, I think I'm gonna break down and do two mp 40's, gonna be awesome if i can convince myself to get radions too. lol Now that isn't looking pretty on the bank!

    well I have two mp40's in my cart.... the price is daunting tho. The 75 pounds of dry rock and other misc. don't make it any better. I feel like I am going to get yelled at :)

    Funny story, i just bought 30 lbs of rock and 200 gallons worth of coralife salt and guess who got the most harsh talking to of my life... good thing shes not my wife. seriously she just doesnt get it.

    I hope your other half doesnt go as hard as mine did... seriously it was bad made me feel like a pos. If she does im sure those mp40s will put a smile on your face. lol your tanks going to be a completely new monster.

    Im just glad my girlfriend likes looking at the fish n corals. She doesnt know much, but all I have to say is the tank needs this or that and she doesn't question it!

    Well, she doesn't get it but just shakes her head and says if it makes u happy lol. yeah, I don't tell her what it cost bahaha If i told her what a bucket of salt costs she would say I am crazy. I just bought 175gal(i think) worth of aquavitro salt. I sure hope it ends up being worth the extra sheckles!
