93g w/cornerflow: IN-TANK circulation and return pump ideas

[SoupySteve]

I've yet to decide on a return pump or my IN-TANK circulation.
I'm leaning towards an Icecap Gyre mounted vertically in the back corner opposite the cornerflow and one MP10 mounted in a location to be determined after aquascaping. I have both items in my Amazon cart at the moment.
You guys are the cube pros who know the challenges of getting proper flow in a cube.

I was thinking of putting a SCWD right before the Y at the end of the return. I used an SCWD in my 110g years ago and loved it.
Any suggestions for a good return pump? I hear DC is the way to go - in that getting a really beefy one and running it at low power increases longevity and reduces heat and vibration.

I have the icecap gyre on my cube and really like the gyre. It's not as loud as others have reported but you can hear it over 50% power.

I just bought the jebao duct-12000 and it is really loud. It replaced my dc-6000 that I got used and was making a lot of noise even after cleaning. I am going to return the dct-12000 and get the D.C.-12000 as they seem to be quieter even though they are the older model.

Did you mount your icecap vertically?

No horizontally. I especially like watching the wave action on the water surface and the mini vortexes it creates. Very calming to watch and enjoy. I will only own gyres going forward I like them.
