[jmichaelh7]

What do you guys think would be better?

2 Gyre type wavemakers like Red Sea 45 / Gyre.
Or

2 Mp40s

your input on this purchase is appreciated

One vote for gyre. They just put out a wider, more even flow imo

I love my gyres. 2 on a 4’ tank. Cranked up to 50-60% alternating... covered in coraline and still great flow.

Take a look at Reef Breeders Reef Power RP-M. You won’t be disappointed.

330s.

I would say 350’s

I don’t want to blow sand to one side of a tank haha which what I’m already doing with a 3k+ gallon Powerhead

 

[Tiki Reef Joshua]

Yea. My tank is only 4’ x 2’

No issues with yours yet? Not bad reviews

 

[CK00020]

I have a 350 and will be getting another, mine ramps to 80% doesn’t move a grain, but I use reefflakes, 4x2 also

 

[Tiki Reef Joshua]

Not yet. I am curious about the Red Sea ones though.

Two 330 for me. Gentle for LPS but the middle and top is hammering for acro.

 

[jmichaelh7]

I might need to go that route. Just haven’t committed to the $370 powerhead from ecotech so I wanted input if it’s worth it
