Hello friends! I'm in the process of building out a new Waterbox 50.3 and I'm working through what I want to do about in-display flow. This tank will be a true mixed reef with a fair amount of LPS and sticks down the road once I'm happy with the parameters. My current thought is dual AI Nero 3's on the back glass and an AI Orbit 2 on the right side of the tank near the water line. Pictures of the scape below! Let me know what your thoughts are. I'm not married to my current plan, I'm just looking to effectively flow through my scape. Thanks in advance!

I think with those two AIs, you would be set on flow! Love your aquascape, by the way!

Thanks for the feedback as well as the compliment! If I just went with two Nero's on the back, do you think the 3's have enough push or would it be worth sizing up to the 5's?
