Hi all,
I'm getting close to finishing my tank build, but I'm stuck considering powerhead/wavemaker options. Tank is a 60 gallon 24x24. Right now I have my return (still unsure what this, gph wise, will give me since I put the sump in my basement and am unsure how much flow I'm going to get with my Pan World pump), and a used MP40 ES. I plan on the tank being almost purely SPS and despite reading multiple old threads and searching high and low, I still haven't found a great option. From what I can find, getting the correct flow in cubes can be quite difficult. Should I stick with what I have or go the gyre route? Any placement ideas? I'm on the fence about getting rid of the MP40 and going with the Maxspect 230 for uniform flow and adding a cheaper Jebao pump to get more targeted flow. I could really use some placement AND combination ideas. Over flow is in the right back corner FWIW.
