I don't have any experience with 7 footers or MP40/60s so can't really help there but definitely tagging along for the ride :-)

I'm running 3 mp40's across my back wall and just bought a 4th. I'm also running 2 wave line dc pumps pushing about 4000gph through my returns...... And I still have a few dead spots. If you can run the mp40's on the opposing ends they can definitely do better but I wanted unobstructed views from the ends as well.

@lastlight... you wouldnt believe the number of magnetic frag disks I have.. Its ridiculous. There is barely a free space on any of the rock..sps growing into each other... so the extra space is going to be great.
As for the MP40's, I cant imagine less flow in an SPS heavy tank. I run them on "reef mode" at up to 70% on a 3 ft tank. I have a bunch of Korillias <sp> that I may play for the time being if the flow is less than I'd like and just figure out if I need an MP40 or 60 I altered the sump (7ft long as well) so that there is almost 4ft to grow cheato... Happy with that, but the pump area could be reduced... seems to be too big a compartment for that. QUESTION... Why does the skimmer have to be in a separate container, is it just because of microbubbles and potential for cavitation on the pump blades?
