I’m debating powerheads for my uns 90 build.
I have an icecap 4K on one side running in hydros wave engine. Thinking of getting another power head for the opposite side. Wondering if I should stay with another 4K gyre pump or something like an octopulse. I did try an icecap 2k but had to return it as it was so much noisier than the 4K.

Thanks
 
The question is depends on the corals.
What made you want another powerhead? Is it to get the debris from behind the rocks ?
I think the gyre right now is pretty good for medium flow

I have previously set up counter pumps on opposite sides for more random flow. Not too worried about debris. Going to do mixed reef…. Some Goni, euphyllia but leaning towards more acro dominated.
