Tank dimensions: 48x24x12 60g DT volume, 20g in sump. Corner durso overflow
Have been scratching my head on this. I have been using $8 800gph ebay powerheads for the last year on my old tanks and they have worked amazing providing 40x+ flow in my tank. But, with this new switch to a 12'" shallow reef I'm having a hard time having the sand not blow around under the powerhead.
What do y'all suggest powerhead wise? I was looking at the mp10's with the shallow reef shield and they seem promising but I haven't seen too many reviews on them. I guess a gyre would be out of the question as that would probably stir things up for this shallow of a tank, right?
Not really looking to have to make the switch to a larger grain sand as it is already a fairly large grain and sand was from the old tank, so it should have some weight to it from all the bacteria and all.
Thanks!
