Flow in 625 xl

[luvinreefer]

Alright, so it looks like I am definitely upgrading my tank and potentially picking it up on Friday!! FYI there will be a Red Sea 300xl coming up for sale in the classifieds. Any way my return will probably be the Vortech M2 which I am running currently. I will either upgrade that once I include a few reactors or add a second pump. What I am more interested in hearing is what people are doing for their powerheads? I'm starting from scratch here as my Nero 3's won't cut it. I have owned MP 40's in the past and liked them but I am also considering a Maxspect Gyro or a combination of the two. What are you guys running on your 625xl's/180 gallon tanks? If I could get away with two MP40's on the back of the tank then great but I don't think that is going to be enough. I am not a huge fan of them going dead center on the sides of the tank which is why I'm considering the Maxspect. That at least can be positioned at the top. As always your input is very welcome. Obviously I want to keep the pumps out of the main display as much as possible!! Thanks!

I have a 180 gallon tank and use 2 mp40’s and one mp60. I tried the gyres a few years back but they were too much maintenance for me. If I were to do it again I would just use 4 mp40’s. I love the flow from my 60 but it is noisier than my 40’s.
