Whew, MP60s on a 5' tank. Mine is 5' and I'm using MP40s dialed down to <50%

Nobody has mentioned this, but I wonder if Gyre pumps can get a circulation going in a tank that long. That would be a real sweet spot in efficiency and simplicity if you could do 2xGyres on the 48" wall, and have it turn over the entire 8' of length.
