Any negative effects from switching flow?

I recently bought a MP10 off a fellow reefer that I'd like to use in my 40 breeder. I currently have for flow a Koralia 4 (450gph) on left side of tank and MJ900 on right back wall with rotating flo director. You can see a ft shot of my tank here: https://www.dropbox.com/sc/5tmuup0ennah87l/P2zPeHDtIc

Does anyone see anything wrong with removing the two current ph's and just using the MP10 on left side?

If you have anemone's, they may move.

No anemones.

"You can never have enough flow." - heard from various people over the last couple years.

As mentioned, nems might move, and the other livestock may be like "whoa!" for a bit, but I can't see any issues with swapping.

Thanks guys. I guess I wont know for sure until I try it out. I'm thinking I may want to keep the MJ900 in the back right corner...We shall see..

I would Keep one of the existing ones too. The mp10 is great but may not have a good enough effect on the opposite side

Exactly my thinking, thanks. I got the mp10 for a few reasons.. 1. Was good deal 2. More indirect flow 3. Aesthetics

Mp10 is great. I have one on my 45 cube and run it at about 75% reef Crest mode. So it's always changing. The only thing I noticed when I added it was that some of the corals took a few days to get use to the flow. But once they did they are all open and happy

Very cool. My hopes are that my cap and frogspawn will be happier as right now the koralia is pointing right at them.
