    Ok i'm going to bite the bullet and get some vortechs for my 125g 6' tank. Its going to be SPS dominant with LPS and a few shrooms/zoas mixed in. I want to make sure i get good flow for the SPS though.

    Currently using 2 Sicce Voyager pumps on a random wavemaker function with a RA controler.

    I voted for two MP40s! I've got two in my 90 and they are more than enough so should do fine in a 125. Enjoy them!! Well worth the investment!

    The 2 mp40s will be amazing for that tank!! No need for a mp60 on that size tank.

    If you are able to make somewhat of a wave with the Sicce pumps then use them for that and set the Vortechs to reefcrest for random movement. (or viceversa)

    You guys are all on the same page, which makes it a no brainer for me! Ideally I want the Sicce to be sold to someone else so I have no wires in the tank.

    More flow, more better. The 40s will work great too though.

    I've got two mp 40's on my 125 haven't really tested there full capabilities yet though. I would not go with a mp10 though
