Tank looks really nice.
As for the MP's, you are mostly correct. I started with (2) MP10's initially to replace two Koralia 750's. then for a short time I relocated one MP10 to my BC29 Angler tank. At that time, my 54 really suffered the loss of flow, the the BC was overkill even at the lowest settings. I found that in the BC, the return flow was plenty, and I replaced the 2nd MP10 on the 54.
I currently have the MP10's set as Master/ Slave, so they are opposites. When one is high flow the other is less and vice-versa. They are running at 100% MAX using the Lagoon program.
Even with all that, I still have lots if detritus buildup in the rear of the tank and plenty of crap on my sandbed. The 54 is very hard to maintain good flow IME.
I do have my PH's facing each other about 6" from the top and 4" from the front.
