Nero 3?

[JayReefs97]

Will 2 Nero 3s be enough flow in a 48inch long tank? There are also 2 return nozzles for flow at the top of the water.

A lot depends on what coral you want to keep. Rock scape comes into play also. I don't think 2 Nero 3s would be great but could work. Example, I have a 36" tank and run two MP40s, two Nero 5s, a Jebao MP40 knock off and two Tunze orca 6075s. But it's an SPS tank with a lot of rock and growing colonies so flow is challenging.

I plan on keeping mostly easy soft corals to start as I am just now getting into corals after a few years of a fowlr tank, once I get more knowledge I can upgrade down the line, would a nero 5 and a nero 3 work better for this?

If you want to go Nero I would do two 5s. You can always dial back a pump but it fits too weak there's nothing to be done. I have a jebao gyre on a 40g breeder and it moves a lot of water.

have you considered just using 1 gyre? how many gallons is the tank?

I already own a nero 3 on my existing 30 g tank, moving it to a 62 gallon that is 48.5" L x 18.5" W x 15.75" H. What gyre would you recommend?

I run 2 Nero 3s in my 11 cube. I would say you need something bigger. They’re also pretty loud above 50-55%, which you would have to run them at in my opinion.

I have a maxspect gyre jump. It was on a tank similar to what you have before i added it to my newest tank. Its treated me well this far. Nothing bad to say.

Do you recommend the gf308 or gf316?

Its really up to you. In an ideal world i always say by the biggest you can afford and fit in current tank, you never know what tank youll have next. I have made this mistake countless times and now have random pieces of equipment laying around from tanks i havnt had in years.
