I’ve got this new 100 gallons peninsula tank coming in. I’ve tried to design the rock work to have good hiding places and to be able to do a full mixed reef with enough flow for each. I’ve drawn out to scale the structures I’m looking at but having a tough time figuring out if the flow will be good here. I’ve got a 2600 gph gyre and a 3300 gph vortex. I would like to put both at the overflow side but not sure if it’ll work out. The drawing is slightly old when I was originally thinking to get 2 vortex power heads. Looking for some opinions.
