The Koralias you're considering together with the three Maxijets might be enough flow, but the clutter from a total of five powerheads isn't ideal. Did you consider getting a Maxijet Mod kit and using a modified Maxijet instead of three of them together with the two new Koralias? I'd suggest considering an vortech, which is what I got for my 120-gallon reef and it's really a good additon to a tank that size.

If you can afford it, the Vortechs or two or three of the new higher-powered Koralias could do it.

Like Kfisc said if you can afford it get some vortechs. Heres the movement in my tank with 2 MP40W's
