Upgrading from a 29 Gallon running a canister filter to a 75 gallon + 40 breeder sump! Finally got the system plumbed and currently letting it run to make sure no surprises pop up while I figure out my aquascape along with planning out some final details and looking for opinions! I'm not new to reefing but I am new to larger tanks (to me at least) and sumps

First: Gyres or Powerheads? My current tank has an Icecap 2k in it but I always see people raving about MP40's and the like. Anyone that has both have any pro's a con's? Icecap 2ks have been working well for me and I am inclined to stick with them

second: Currently I have 2 clowns, a Randall's Shrimp Goby ( the most underrated Goby IMO) and a Possum Wrasse all living in harmony in my 29 gallon. Any suggestions on good additions to a 75? I have the system set up for a rollermat, skimmer, and a fuge so I am not to worried about the amount that I'll have to feed! I also work from home, so mutliple feedings a day wouldn't be a problem!

Here is the tank for anyone curious! And of course I'll be adding trim to clean up the look!

I have 2 maxspect gyre 330 and 3 tunze powerheads in a 4' 90g display, and I like the flow, but I'd stick with you like.
Lyertail Anthias are colorful and active if that's what you're looking for.

Dwarf angels are colorful, you could add one to the tank!

And I agree! I have a 5 fish harem with lyertails. The pinkish one is my male and the orange ones are my females! Nevermind my clown trigger, the fish in the corner is a lyertail female and you can see the purple in her!
