2 is great for randomizing flow. Can always turn them down. I am currently running two eflux 1050 gph in my 4' 75. Definitely want to upgrade to a pair of wavs

I’d recommend two WAVs. I have one WAV plus two Gyre XF-230’s in my Reefer XL 425 (88g display) and it seems just right for me. It will also depend on your rockscape. My rocks are pretty tall and block a lot of flow, especially now since my SPS colonies are getting larger.

I'd buy the kit that comes with 2... Makes it so much easier and you can link them to work together in various ways. I'm happy with mine.
