Would 2 Nero 3's be too much flow for a Mixed reef in a 40 breeder?

The tank is drilled in the center Back with a overflow box on the back glass ( eshopps m)

I'm hoping to keep what ever I use on the back glass as both sides are viewed

I was also looking at Jebao slw-20 so i can save a few $$

Then there is the grye option but with the overflow being in the center I feel that having it off to one side of it would not give even flow (Love that song)
 
Either sound fine to me, I use a pair of icecap gyres in my 40 breeder along with the return (my eshopps m overflow in the center as well).... hmnn, I never thought of putting them on the back glass, I might try it out

Did you land on a solution? I’m currently picking out my flow for my 40 also
 
I went with 2 jebeao slw-20 powerheads and then my return pump. I have a slw-10 I can add if needed
I’m torn between mp 10s, Nero 3s or a combo of tunze. I do like the affordability of the jebao, I had one on my last set up but the second it got algae power was reduced.
