I have a 48x12.5x21”T tank, not a ton of room from to back but plenty across the tank

would a single mastech gyre 2k be enough for this tank? I’ve seen them used fairly efficiently on bigger tanks but this will become a sps tank over time too (going to take a few months to get there tho)

if anyone has experience with these in a similar tank Id love to hear from you
 
I dont have experience with those but it seems to me that it would be more than enough as long as you had it flowing against your return line to create some turbulence.
 
I’m going to have 2-3 hob refuge type box filters on back, was thinking of putting gyre in facing across 4’ side of tank
