If you want to add to it... Test kits (API is just fine and inexpensive) GFO and carbon reactors 2 part dosing or calcium reactor powerheads and wavemaker (I like vortech and tunze) Thats all I can think of unless you want a controller. |

The mp40s push water about 3 feet, so one should be pretty good to start. Of course if your rockwork creates dead spots or as your tank matures (corals) you can always add another one on the other side.
