I'm not sure if there is much of a benefit to controlling them externally (or even if it's possible), but I'm a sucker for vortech power heads. A pair of mp10s would be great on that tankLooking for suggestions on powerheads. I'm planning to run the return at like 300gph or less. The tank is going to be mixed reef leaning to LPS. I want to introduce some SPS in the future but for now I'm just transferring everything from the old tank to this one.
So, I'm thinking somewhere between 30-40X turnover. I'm not sure if that means two pumps at 1000gph each, one at 2400 or some combination of a gyre and a pump. The tank is square so I'm not really positive on what would work best in there. If anyone has any experience with cubes and flow I'd like to get your thoughts.
In any case I want the pumps to be controlled by 0-10v third party. I got a Profilux for myself and want to use the features that brings to the table.

in my opinion, the 30-40X is way too much for turnover.Looking for suggestions on powerheads. I'm planning to run the return at like 300gph or less. The tank is going to be mixed reef leaning to LPS.

Ken I like your light rack you made...do you have the parts list?I finished the light mount tonight, and got the T5 fixture in place and level. The hinge worked out perfectly, I can till the whole thing to 90 degrees to get in the tank. I'm not sure how this will play out in the long run and I may add a support cable from the front of the lights back to upright to take some of the pressure off the hinges. I'll probably lag the mount into the wall under the window for a little rigidness. Still waiting for the mount for the Kessil to go in the middle of it all.
The tank stand is working out way better than I hoped. The six doors on an oversized cabinet leaves tons of room in there. The sump can come out any side with no issues.
I've got 55 gallons of Turkish TM mixing and warming that will start to go in tomorrow. All the scaping will be with existing live rock.
Baby steps...
