4-foot 100-gal tank - I only want one wave pump / powerhead

[Gort]

I plan to keep fish, softies and LPS - no SPS. I'm OK with wire in-tank. I have read about certain powerheads being too strong even dialed down, small fish killers, etc. I want a one-and-only, but which one? - hmm

Which gyres are "nice" in your rec? Maxspect, Jump, Icecap?

I like ice cap if I were to choose

I have one of these

Turbelle Nanostream 6095 Controllable (528-2510 GPH)

Why does BRS recommend this? Tunze Controllable pumps have been around for years and year with a great reputation. Tunze now includes a controller with all their controllable powerheads which greatly increases their value. The Turbelle pumps are very quiet, and for everything you get the price...

Pointed up at the surface, 18" out, running a wave 5 seconds on then 5 off at 50%.
4 foot 75g. Produces a nice wave motion in the torches, not too much to bother the other euphyllia farther downstream, other side of the tank.

If you only want to run one WaveMaker a gyre will probably be your best option.
