I have a waterbox 130.4 with a reefwave 45 and a reefwafe 25.

The display tank is about 105 Gal. The reefwave 45 has max flow of just under 4.000gal and the reefwave 25 2.000gal.

Will this be enough to keep a mixed reef? Or should I switch out the 25 for another 45?

Side note. Im still building so no water in the tank yet.
 
The minimum suggested flow is 20x turnover, so calculate it as 105 gallons by 20x = 2100 gph minimum. So your powerheads will be fine IMO. Personally I run my tanks at 40x-50x turnover.
