Can you use a XF230 with an XF250 controller? No.

Can you run the XF250 vertically? Yes, the orientation of the pump has no bearing over the controller.

thank you, what i was asking is would the water flow be too disruptive is one head was vertically and the other horizontally?

Unfortunately the only one that can answer that question is you. Every tank is different with different aquascaping and corals so the only way to find out if the pump is too disruptive in your tank is to test it and see.
