How about adding a mp10 powerhead? I have a mp20 in my 18g and I love it.

K1 should be perfect for LPS and softies

Hi, what is the glass thickness on this tank?

Your first post is just one long sentence but let me see if I can help. I have the same tank in the GLA version, it's close to 36x8x9 correct? If so, I bought a 2 bulb current nova T5 setup that should grow things other than SPS well. For flow, I agree an MP10 on one end would be the best, but 2 Koralia Evo 750s on each end would work as well. If you wanted to get real swanky, you could imitate this:

that light, or if you want the 4 bulb,

However the 4 bulb setup is going to be wider than the entire tank, so you will have to hang it, which means drilling the top of the fixture since it doesn't come with provisions for hanging it.

Or you could do 3 wide optic Par38 bulbs.
