Got a text from CD saying that my tank will be ready on wednesday! Hopefully AA will be done with my sump soon as well. So lets talk equipment. I ordered a Vectra M1 for my return pump so that's taken care of. My question is what I should do for flow. Would it be better to go with 4 MP 40's or 2 MP 60's?

Even though I'm a total newb for reefs, i've always been a bigger fan of multiple small powerheads as opposed to fewer large powerheads. It allows greater control over all circulation, and I am a bigger fan of general redundancy, especially in case of failure.

I had 2 MP40's on a 6 foot tank before and there wasn't enough flow in the middle. If I get 2 MP60's they will not run at full power but if I run the 4 MP40's i would probably run them at full power... thinking wear and tear and replacing wet sides in the future

Well, got the tank back today! Also picked up a M1 Vectra for the return. I'm hoping to get the tank up on the stand this weekend.
