Hi guys, I was just looking to get some ideas on where to place a new powerhead. Right now I have 2 MP40s(circled in red) on the back wall of my reefer 750 G2(6x2x2).
I’m starting to get detritus accumulating on the sand bed so I was thinking of adding a third powerhead to help with that. I have viewing panes on the front and right hand side of the tank and I was hoping to put something in the left(circled in green) that could shoot water across the tank.
Previously I tried to make a fake gyre by having the 2 MP40s placed closed to the top on the left hand side and it did hit a majority of the tank, just had little flow on the right hand side. If it helps, I wanted to do an Acro tank.
At first I was thinking of a MP60 but those things are like 900 dollars. Same would thing if I decided to set up 2 mp40’s on the left panel. Right now I’m leaning towards a single ReefWave45, just don’t know if it will reach the other end of the tank.
Bonus points if it works through möbius/mxm so I can use feed mode on my apex but also not entirely sold on it since afaik there isn’t an easy compatible apex gyre
Side note - the hair algae is bad but I’ve been winning the battle recently
