I have been considering replacing the wave makers i have on the back glass with a gyre. This also made me want to post my flow configuration on here and see what you guys think. I have a nero 3 on each side, one blowing across the front one blowing across the back. The one on the right is pointed at the top of the rockwork where my acros are. They are both on random flow between 60-80%. I have 2 hygger wave makers on the back glass right below my return pump nozzles. They are on max constant flow because they are kind of weak.

I want to replace the 2 hygger wave makers on the back glass with a gyre. I guess i will put it on random flow, or should i put on constant because the neros on each side are on random? i just want to get some more flow in the tank blowing back to front. This would also allow me to put one of the hyggers on the side on the bottom blowing across the back of the rock work.

Let me know your thoughts!
 
If I’m completely honest. Your corals look amazing, your sand is clean and your fish look healthy. I wouldn’t change a winning formula :)
