Stupid question time!
I've got a 40 gallon mixed reef. I've got an old (undersized, don't remember which model) tunze, a cheap aqueon I got from petco, and am getting too many wires around the tank. I'm hoping to do some tank reno this year because it's a bit of a mess right now. HOPEFULLY within the next couple of months, it'll be on a new stand and I'll be able to put a sump under it. Once I do that, would it be possible to get a powerhead of a decent size and run the whole thing off of it? A bit (though not much) extra flow will come from the overflow/return, and from my skimmer, though that obviously doesn't count towards the whole thing. Could something like a gyre do it, or maybe something I DON'T need to hook to a wifi system and control with an app? I'd like it to be enough that the little bit of SPS I've got will get some flow to it, and that I'll be able to eventually kick up the detritus enough that the overflow will catch it.
