Recently setup a Waterbox 105.4 Frag tank.
Tank is 4 feet long, 23.5 wide and 16 deep. I really hate cords in the tank and would like to only do 1 pump/powerhead if I can. I've had an MP40 previously and they are good but very pricey. I was looking at doing either a single Icecap Gyre 2k or 4k. I initially wanted to mount the gyre on the center tank overflow pointing toward the front of the tank, but I think it will push too much water up towards the edge of the glass? Secondary location would be 1 pump mounted on either the left or right side pointing at the other side of the tank?
My second option is the NERO 3 or NERO 5. They are similarly priced to the Ice Cap gyres and much more affordable option than the ECOTECHs. I also have 2 AI Prime lights so I believe I can use the same app on my phone, but not sure what that would be worth versus having a separate app for the Ice Cap gyres?
Anyone have any opinions/advice on best placement of the single pump and suggestions on which is the better choice for my particular setup (1-2k or 4k Ice Cap Gyre, or 1 NERO-3 or NERO-5)?
