Help with flow.

[2Barrel]

Hi all.
By the end of March I should be receiving my new tank. It's a I.M. 50 EXT .Dimensions are 30 X 24 X 18.
Not to sure of what size powerhead to get flow wise?. Should I run 2 ?

It will be a mixed reef if that helps.

Any help will be appreciated.

Definitely two, what price range are you thinking?

Maybe up too $200.00 each one.

Nero 5 would be my pick then, one either side, the Nero 3s would be well within budget but you would need to run them much higher, always better to go bigger then you can run them lower which reduces the wear and tear on them and less noise from them. And also have room to turn them up if needed.

Second this. Neros push a lot of water for their size. And they can use either the AI app or Mobius app.
