Standard 120g 48x 24 x24 but with a corner overflow. Planning Mixed tank maybe 70/30 lps/sps most sps Montipora not so much Acro.
I’m trying to choose between powerheads and having a hard time. Battery backup is a big deal for me Living in Florida with hurricanes.
I’m leaning towards vortech I like their flow patterns and they program well with the apex. But using ecotech’s flow calculator it seems 2 x mp40’s would be overkill. 1 x mp40 would be the right amount of flow but how do you get enough variation in flow with that?
- adding an mp10 on the other side (same side the corner flo is on) seems like a good option keeps the total flow in an ok range on the calculator.
-or just go with two gyres and alternate between sides?
-opinions?
