enough flow?
I am going to have a 120g with 2 600 gph rated overflows flowing to a 1200 gph pump and stocking sps corals should I drill a closed loop for more movement? I really don't want to put powerheads in tank wife has problem with them in current tank suggestions?

Is this going to be a FO, FOWLR, or reef tank?
IMO youd be better off with the closed loop for the extra flow, but depending on what your keeping you might be able to get away with it |

He's going to need either a) a closed loop or b) powerheads. ~8x turnover is not sufficient for SPS. |
