I’m in the planning phase of upgrading the water flow in my 125g mixed reef. I currently have 4 Hydor power heads of various gph that run full flow/on all the time. No wave maker or controller. I know this isn’t ideal as coral appreciates random movement.
I want to replace my current setup with a gyre or power heads or a combination of both and could use some advice. I’m looking for bang for my buck. Ecotechs would be nice but my wife would divorce me.
The dimensions of my display tank are 72x18x22h. It has a medium to high amount of rock. Not sure actual weight. Pic attached.
The internet says flow for a mixed reef in a tank my size is around 3500 gph. Does that sound right? Does that number include the return pump, which is 950 gph.
I really don’t know the best way to get what I need so any help would be appreciated.
