DSA 105 Rimless
Very nice tank, In my 72 I have two at the top of the tank to move and aerate the water and they push the water to the center. In the center I have a MP 40 two thirds down to distribute the water as the water collides in the center and pushed down, the Mp 40 catched that water and distributes the water around the bottom

If you are looking for a circular flow I would suggest two 130's, aerate on top and flow at the bottom
If you are looking for one, I would go with the 280 on one end.

Do you have any complaints about the noise?You don't think 1 230 would be enough?

My MP 40 makes more noise than the Gyre. If you were to go with one I would look at the 250.

here are my 130's in action
