Hi All,
I am in the process of planning my tank upgrade. I currently have a IM Nuvo 20. All softies and LPS with a few easy SPS mixed in. I run an MJ900 return and MP10 for flow. Single AI Prime 16 for light.
I have been exploring getting the Waterbox 105 Frag tank. It's an 80 gallon (48x24x16) display with a 24 gallon sump. I would plan a similar stocking to my current tank with lots of softies and LPS. Lagoon style...small islands, lots of swim room.
I have been debating flow options. Right now I run my single MP10 at 20% Lagoon in my Nuvo 20. The Frag is 24" front to back as opposed to my Nuvo that is only 12". I like my MP10, and am debating between getting 1 more and have 1 on each side, or going dual gyres.
The reason for debating the gyres, is the width if the tank. Only having a single MP10 on each side may not be enough to get good flow even for softies. The gyres being about 8" long and sending out a sheet of flow may be a better option.
So I wanted to ask....thoughts? Anyone have a similar setup, or tried both and settled on one? Other options?
Thanks!
