Maxspect Gyre for 6’

[C1-10P]

Good afternoon,

setting up a 6’x18”x24” tank, came across a good deal on a Maxspect gyre 350 with controller. I wanted to get another one for the opposite side.

my issue is I have a corner return and the 350 will not fit horizontal, I came up with three options,

1) run XF330 which will fit next to the return.
2) run a secon 350 veritically across the front of the tank.
3) run a second 350 vertically across the back, issue here is the dry side magnet would have to be in the return which seems like a pain.

any recommendations? I like the idea of the 330 on the opposite side but aggrainim going to regret not getting more flow.

plan to see how this goes to start the tank and then add some more specific pumps as I add coral and find the dead spots.

how thick is the glass? the 350 is only rated for 3/4" horizontally. 330 rated for 1/2"

3/8” acrylic

in that case my pick would be the 330

That was my thought, think one 350 and one 330 would be a good amount of flow ?

I run both horizontal and vertical, so vertical is an option
