    I am planning on getting three Hydor EVO's for my new 90 gallon tank. Two for the ends and one for the back wall to break up the flow. I am thinking 1050 for the ends and 750 for the back wall, or maybe all 1050's. My return pump will be a Mag 9,5 and I will have mostly LPS and Softies, any thoughts?

    I think you have a decent idea, that will deliver plenty of flow in your 90. You may want to consider a wave maker and eliminating the evo in the back. The only issue I have with these pumps are their size, they are so large its an eyesore in a beautiful tank.

    The EVO's are smaller than their predecessor.

    True, but still an eye sore in my opinion -- yet, it's hard to argue the price for the power. I use Echtech MP40's - the first one with controller was $400+ ... eeesh ! Anyway - enjoy your set up, its going to do the job nicely for you.
