So I will be upgrading my 180gal display to a 440gal display in a few months when its built and delivered. As of right now, I have 3 Nero 5s in my display. I am trying to decide to either just add more Nero 5s or go with something else in addition. Maybe two IceCap 4k Gyres or something like that. What're your thoughts to give the best flow for this set up. Tank will be bare bottom, and no high flow dependent corals. Tank dimensions are 96"L x 48"W x 24"H.
 
Is there a particular reason why mp40s/60s (depending on glass/acrylic thickness) arent an option? Having cables in the tanks for neros or servicing gyres is something im happy to be without in my 450g.
Alternatively since the tank is in the building phase, have you considered a closed loop?

I am open to all options. I have never looked in to the closed loop system. I will have to do some research on that and see what all is involved. I have just always used powerheads/wavemakers in my systems.
 
Will this be a mixed reef?
