Flow in a frag tank?

I am going to be setting up a frag tank 24 x 24 x 12. It will be barebottom and will have a pvc frame with eggcrate for the frags. The return probably won't be very strong maybe a mag 5 or so but I want to use maxi-jet mods and was wondering how many I should use in a tank like this. It will be for SPS.

I would use 2 and it should give you some nice random flow.

yeah, I'd get two 400's w/ maxijet mods. The one I bought says 1600 gph, regardless of pump size and I believe it. I tried 1200, 900, 600, 400, all the same output with the mod on. One was too much for my 30, though I didn't let it settle.. too crazy
